Dying While You're Alive

The poetry of a girl with mental illnesses who fell in love with a heroin addict.

By Tracy Rose Published 6 years ago 1 min read

I really felt our love could conquer anything

And one day I’d wear a wedding ring

I ask you to just say anything

But your lips whisper nothing at all

As I jump from the fifth floor

I say catch me

Come on

Catch me

But I just fall

I can’t blame you for my own demise

When your pride is such a big size

And I question

What is it

You wanted me to realize

As I keep saying I’m going to try

And try and try and try

But all I do is lay down and cry

And from the fifth floor I fly

And you just sit in your silence and pride

As you watch me bleed out and die
