To Live Or To Die? Poem by Guarded Heart

While I live, I have to hide
The me inside wants to die

To live or to die?
To answer my own question could be suicide

To die, to say goodbye, to leave this life
Such an easy way out now that I know
Because when you go I’ll be alone

To live, to thrive, to hold you tight
To love and be loved
I have so much to lose

To live without your touch
Is far to much
To endure, to survive
I’d rather give up my life than say goodbye

But to live this life
Means that in order to survive
I must deal with strife
So again I ask the question:
To live or to die?
