Haven't I got any say in this?

Coldly staring into nothingness,
With his life ticking by rather abruptly,
Languorously fighting his way to reality,
He tries to reach the warm touch of the angel
... Mistaken for a strand of sunshine

Not having a say in any of this,
Stubbornly waiting for the anticipated day,
For precious days, months, years ...
Spending his time gazing into the past

Reminiscing the memories, those wonderful
Heart-warming moments, which finally made him feel
Like a human, for once in his life,
He was free, bound to no limits

The enigmatic, charismatic girl he had fallen in love with
He believed in her and had patience
He had no intentions of letting her go
With his arms tightly wrapped around her

His inner metamorphosis transforming his heart
From black coal to pure gold,
Oh, how he wished that this would last forever,
Oh, how dreadfully mistaken he was!
Oh ... if I was only there to warn him ...

And now as he has one foot in his grave,
He covers his face as he cries like a little child
Wailing, choking, howling breathlessly,
Hating those which poisoned his heart

With uncertainties tormenting his mind:
Why me? What have I done to deserve this?
What we had was eternal; why did this happen?

Foolish, I thought, as I watched him struggle hopelessly
Like an animal brought for slaughter
With no escape in sight, living in a
Pitiful state of complete misery

He, foolish and naïve he was,
Still believing in his bond, his heart
Still could not despise her nor let her go,
That blackened heart was still of a boy
Who once experienced unparalleled love

That very same person, smiling still,
Shedding tears from his beautiful, dull eyes,
Remembers her, wants to hold her, meet her one last time
As he stubbornly waits for the anticipated day
Ignoring his signs of lifelessness,
He takes one last look at his wonderful face
As I stare back at him, being in his shoes
I close my eyes as he does

Slowly drifting to a surreal world

Cherishing his memories till his final breath.

wow that was really touching, i like this verse more

Haha thanks! You really liked it? I'm glad ... thank you!
This is just my first draft, like most my poems. I can't be bothered to change them because it's raw emotion.

@ Monkey: It is sad, aye? I only write poems when I feel something prominent.

@ PhoenixSara: It is story telling :p Which is most likely to come true!

@ heartless: That is my favourite verse, too :)
