No Tomorrow Poem by lindsey ashton

No Tomorrow

Rating: 5.0


Surrounded by my fears, my anger and my sorrow,
The night drags along keeping clear of tomorrow,
The thoughts of death are nothing new,
The damage and hate that I long to hold on to.
Without them I don’t know who I am,
Only loneliness I can understand.
I know who I am now, and no time can pass
As I suffocate myself with all of my past.
Things are not clear, nothing seems right,
As I hold myself down, I can no longer fight.
I don’t want to be, or exist anymore
I don’t want to accept anything that life has in store
I want to forget, and I want you to forget too
That I was ever here, that I never met you.
I will not leave a footprint or shadow behind,
I will never be remembered, I’ll be forgotten in time.
Not a memory of me, jus a gap where I was,
Filled with sorrows, hate and dust.
don’t feel for me now, as you never did before,
I refuse to be a memory of someone you’ve known.
I will leave not a trace of this life behind
I will leave not the sorrow that lives in my mind
I will go to a place, where nothing exists
I will leave my body through the veins in my wrists.
This night will never end, it will stay still with my sorrow,
As my time has now ended, there is no tomorrow.

I love your writing, It's all in words that are easy reading and understandable, yet so deep. You have a lot to offer so don't be even thinking of 'No Tomorrows'

with death all around there is a friend to be found as poets we see and hear lots of things and because of this our words we bring to touch the souls of so many others-and that is why we are sisters and brothers. both of these are great-but i love your cheery side the most. another ten
