Dirty Little Trick

How can I say this?
I know I will reminisce
Over my decision to let this go
I can’t love you
But yet I do

I am not stable; I am falling into pieces from the inside out
Bout of depression, bout after bout
Suicidal thoughts racing through my head
I wish I was dead
Is this all in my head?

Is my brain playing a dirty little trick?
Just like a bomb waiting for me to tick
Then the gates of hell undo
Not for you
My beau

The gates open for me
Can’t you see?
No more me
Means no more we
This is how it must be

It’s time say good bye
I know you’ll ask why
And I’ll try
To say, you won’t understand good bye

As the gates of hell take me in
I can not win

    A dark feeling poem. I have a few similar myself, talking of depression etc, how it takes over and we feel we can't have anything good in our lives...

    I like how you structered this, making it read easily aloud
