Because of You

I can barely breathe,
Do you know what you have done to me?
My world is dead
Because of you.
You broke it and rode on through.
My heart is broken
Because of you
You stole it and broke it in two.
Now, because of you,
Inside, I am but dead.
You know it’s true!
You killed a perfect childhood.
I cry for the life I won’t have
Because of you
I try to heal the past
That was ruined by you.
But we are given one childhood.
I grew faster than I should’ve
Because of you.
I never got to live an innocent life
That I see everyday.
They are so fragile and unknowing,
That I know you must pay.
Oh, how I miss those days of innocence
Before you killed my very meaning of existence.
And now… because of you, I’d rather be dead.

Ok, I decided to post this poem before the medicine I took would knock me out (VERY effective stuff, it makes you cough "better" to get the stuff out of your lungs then you ease up on coughing.... but on the dark side, it tastes SO dreadfully awful, it could make one decide NEVER to take medicines AGAIN!!! *I think it killed some of my taste buds...* ALSO you get really light-headed, and kinda sleepy.... so sorry if I'm not thinking straight).

Believe it or not (I'm watching E3. I never thought I could get in so easily... (SORRY!!!!!)) this poem was FIRST inspired by my cold, since it's kinda hard to breathe and stuff. I had the beginning of the poem in my head for a few hours, and I finally put it to paper, changing my thoughts on the way, and throwing away my first attempt at this poem. I just let the words flow out. So I guess this poem could be about someone else's life... I guess. SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT!!! (ok, Megan is finding it hard to see straight now O_o)
