Living Death Poem by Angelina Pandian

To have known you – And
To have given you up
Shows the best and worst in me.
Yet, however distant I maybe
I shall still live with you,
In my sleeping and my waking
In my dreams and my thoughts
I shall live forever with you.
My life’s sorrows and sadness
Would vanish with thoughts of you
Though it would be painful that
I am separated from you
The thought that you wish me well
And I live in your memories
Would see me through life’s struggles
I have been happy
I have lived my life
Do not ask – Was it in a dream?
I have known your love
It is enough for me.
I have had my fill of life
I am living now a living death
I breathe now hoping for a life to come.
