My feelings are silently forming a cyclone
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I feel so empty since you left me
I'm waiting for a happy moment
To help me take my mind off it
Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
To help remove this blackened sorrow
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely moving, barely anything
I finally understand what you see me as
I wish I could have what she now has
I'm just a waste of space
Who could easily be replaced
I can't stand to look at my reflection
It only reminds me of your rejection
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely feeling anything
You took everything when you left
You left me feeling lost, bereft
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely doing anything
I feel so lost, alone, and broken
I can hear your words not spoken
It could have ended differently
You could still be here with me
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I barely know who I am blaming [comments] => 5 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Alyshia [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Barely Breathing

Sitting at home in the dark, alone
My feelings are silently forming a cyclone
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I feel so empty since you left me
I'm waiting for a happy moment
To help me take my mind off it
Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
To help remove this blackened sorrow
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely moving, barely anything
I finally understand what you see me as
I wish I could have what she now has
I'm just a waste of space
Who could easily be replaced
I can't stand to look at my reflection
It only reminds me of your rejection
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely feeling anything
You took everything when you left
You left me feeling lost, bereft
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I'm barely doing anything
I feel so lost, alone, and broken
I can hear your words not spoken
It could have ended differently
You could still be here with me
I'm barely living, barely breathing
I barely know who I am blaming

A sad piece but fantastically written.
i like the different style and the repetitive strain within the poem
