If you knew I was dying would it change you?

This plane is crashing down

Into the ocean

The turbulence tore the wing

And disrupted steady motion

So what can i do now?

Pretend this is a lie?

Sit here and regret?

Taking to the sky?

I know that time is short

And no one speaks a word

Silence brings me closer

My thoughts to be unheard

Will I leave on impact?

As this ship reaches the sea?

Or will the water reach my neck?

Drowning me slowly?

Breaking the awkward silence

Spilling my heart and mind

I never thought this would end

With a 13 hour flight

Mistakes - I've made my share

And I haven't payed my dues

This is the end

Of a life totally unused

The women, the men

I faintly study faces

The children, as one

The way the captain paces

No one can save us now

No one can turn this around

Only time will tell

Spiraling toward the ground

Feeling so alone

The numbness that enfolds

Holding onto hope

My body growing cold

The darkness that breaks

The way the cabin shakes

Silently the tears

Falling to pearl gates

Now I stare at these broken lights

Without reason to keep my pride

I know I let you down more than once

Swear to god I regret living those lies

Shaking cold, alone, and empty

Knuckles white this hope I grip

The things you never told me

Words stuck to my cracking lips

This story may be sung before

But it means the world to know

You cared and held me close

But I’ll never let you go

And before I let this tide

Wash me to the shore

I swear to you on my life

I wasn’t lying when I said

The sky is slowly fading

But my courage strongly grows

The sea it slowly opens

But my blood won’t cease to flow

The calm enters before us

And my heart entwines with soul

The ocean may steal my future

But my memories keep afloat

I swear to god I wasn’t lying

Sinking to the ocean floor

I swear to god I wasn’t lying

When I said I love you more



-All my Love, MGXS

 

I love that, I especially like the ending !

Thank you so much.

 

this was an amazing poem, i really love your style of writing and use of rhyme and pace. You can really feel a gradual intensifying of emotions throughout the last few lines with the repetition "I swear to god I wasn’t lying" and love the rhetorical questions too. I personally found this very moving. Thanks and well done!
