Drowning. Sinking. Try to fight. 

Fighting to find that precious light.

The one that healed my sorrow and pain. 

The one who loved me, and was never vain. 

I miss it everyday. 

I miss it everynight. 

I try to find it, but it's nowhere in sight. 

I imagine one day it will come back to me, 

Free me of my sins, and we can live happily. 

But now that I've fallen so far below, 

It may never come back,

I wish i could know. 

I'm caught in a place in between, 

One where i feel sad,

One where i feel mean. 

I want to know if the light will come crashing 

through. 

Take me out of the darkness, 

away from you. 

You brought me here. 

I'm tied in a knot. 

I thought you loved me, 

I said i thought. 

But now i'm left alone

sitting in the dark, 

wondering why i let you take my spark. 

I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. 

A thousand times more. 

Rest in peace, 

Don't get hit by the door.

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

Wow, I love your poem, it's truly beautiful in its emotion and reality.  I'm sorry if you were hurt this way but you're not alone and at least your were able to express yourself this way, showing courage and pride.
