Since I woke up today
I've been struggling to breathe.
Choking on your name
Asking you not to leave.

It happened again,
I saw you in my dream.
I'm still trying to catch my breath
Trying not to scream.

I need to wipe these tears
I need to blur your face.
Force this heart back into gear,
make it regain its normal pace.

So I'll go get my pills
And I'll bring out the liquor.
Keep on lying to myself
Saying "today I really don't miss her".

But I'm haunted.
Can't get you off my head.
I wish that I would die,
For you to be the one suffering instead.

Why did we fight that night?
How could I let you drive away?
If i knew that you'd been drinking
I should have forced you to stay

And today,
is the anniversary of your death.
I've been trying not to think of you,
But I'm crying, still short of breath.

I take out my wallet
Where I still hold your picture.
Wondering if I'll meet you soon
Thanks to this pill and liquor mixture.

But I feel nothing
I've been drinking this all morning
My heart still hasn't given out
The only pain comes from this mourning.

Are these pills not good?
Is this liquor not enough?
Is the only thing that hurts me now
When I think about you, love?

I miss you
I need you and you're not here
I'm about ready to pass out
And repeat this all next year

It's very powerful when you realize that she's dead rather than having just left. I do hope that this isn't a true story, and if it is, I'm very sorry :heart:

I like the rhyming as well as specific parts:
"liquor mixture" sounds cool to say out loud.
"And repeat this all next year" is a powerful end.

As for grammar, in poetry it is not necessary to use proper grammar. However, it is better to be consistent, to either not use it or use it properly throughout. You have some lines with no commas or periods, and some parts that are written as if they were proper sentences. It would look nicer to choose one or the other and keep it consistent.

U know u are the nicest person that has ever critiqued my work
I like u the most :iconaawplz: lol

I had originally intended this to be a cliche story about the girl leaving the guy
but then i thought..it would be better to make it a more permanent departure.
Its not a true story at all.


i liked saying "liquor mixture" too. lol
I made him act the way i would..if i were to ever lose anyone that close to me.
and..i think thats why people..think this might be a true story.


i suck at grammar
like i said..im jnot good at writing
i've never studied..i really dont know how.
I just do what i can :c
