The victim of circumstance
Rise to a challenge every day
Waiting for the fantastic chance
To see and blow them away

No hatred marks this patient face
But love and understanding does
Allowing me to win the race
With those around me and above

But I also see a fighter
Someone who takes everything in
Tries to make burdens lighter
So there will be peace again

I see a myriad of things
When I look at my reflection
Wishing at times I had some wings
To break free of the connection

So here's to looking at oneself
Not sure of where I am standing
But my reflection on myself
Will forever be demanding

I promise to come quickly
While watching you one night
You seemed to suffer deeply
They couldn't have been more right
Your bleeding heart
Your ragged breath
You've started to fall apart

My neutral being can't stop
I'm only to transport your soul
Taking you up top
Meeting on the grassy knoll
You'll feel whole once more
So don't be afraid, when I come knocking
Walking on through your door

While on your journey, you will see
Your life in its completion
The only thing, that I can't be
Is a regret deletion
So onward, upward we will go
Before you leave this place
For everyone you used to know
Will have a comforting smile upon their face

Enclosed in the dark
Walls closing in
I've hit my mark
On what lies within
There's that voice
If I choose to listen
My heart starts to beat
Your eyes start to glisten
The voice starts to speak
"Say it's over, goodbye
See ya next week"
Motionless I lie
I'm in a room full of people
Machines and the like
Not in a building with a steeple
But one overlooking a ****
Suddenly, there appears a new voice
One I can't ignore
"If you come back, I'll let you go"
Trying to move is such a chore
And I bolt right up, from the soft bed
Astonished, I came back from the dead
This piece was written for a contest on all poetry, where the prompt was space... I chose to convey the time in a relationship where the person feels smothered....So in order to get any space the poor guy had to die.... hope you enjoy my work...

I see your breath upon the wind
Even in my waking
My state of mind is on the mend
Am yours for the taking
You've captured my soul, none to soon
You've held me spellbound to the moon
You've captured my
You've captured my
Heart making me feel like a loon

I see your breath upon the wind
I will do what it takes
Every rule is worth it to bend
To avoid all heartbreaks
You've changed my life, the way I live
Let's me feel I have more to give
You've changed my life
You've changed my life
This love I feel, is like a sieve

I see your breath upon the wind
Leaving me a message
To challenge all of my close friends
With life to envisage
Fortunately locked up inside
Are all the things to run and hide
Fortunately
Fortunately
Your death, my sweet, I have denied

You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him
Could it be his short wavy hair
You see that snoutfair over there
No one else will ever compare
He's chiseled, composed, tall and slim
You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him

A random thought goes through my head
Am I covered head to toe red
What will happen when I awake
Will my heart be split with a stake
I lie pale in my coffin bed

Here I lie peaceful with the dead
My coffin bed is made of lead
But my thought is on my heartbreak
A random thought

What was it that my young lass said
Before she filled my heart with lead
"If my life is what you will take,
Please let me see the next daybreak"
And that is when my head filled with dread
A random thought

— The End —
