I hold my destiny in my hand

Loveing you is what I did best,

I told you I would love you till my last breath.

The more I say it the more it's true,

There is nothing I wouldn't do for you.

You had my heart in your hands,

But you left me there in the cold to stand.

All alone I wonder why.

More and more I want to die.

As you pass by you don't say a word,

It's like you don't hear what I say.

As soon as I look at you, you look away.

Rumors and lies is what did this to me,

But now I have to part like waves in the sea.

I hold my destiny in my hand,

For being with out you I can not stand.

As I hold the steel to my head,

I wonder what it will be like when I am dead.

So I take a deep breath, then take one more,

Pull the trigger, then fall to the floor.

This is my favorite of your

This is my favorite of your poems. I hate to nitpick like some others, but you should have someone grammercheck your work, unless everything is intentional. You don't seem suicidal. Heartborken maybe, but not suicidal.

it is what it is......

I like your work! "grammer check" if you wish but I think it is good either way. I hope you continue to pour out your soul, words just get in the way. Sincerely, Mark

Fantastic approach to the subject

I believe this is my favourite of your work, and the beauty is in the simplicity. You let your emotions speak, and you don't get bogged down trying to force metaphors into spaces they don't belong, like so many poems of the subject matter fall prey to. A few grammar errors notwithstanding, your best on here so far.
