I am living like I am dying
I am laughing like I am crying
I am letting go, like I am still trying
I am okay like I am not fine
  
I realize its all in the past like a feeling it could have last,
I think I have moved on like there is nowhere I belong,
I’ve forgotten the meaning of a kiss, like it meant the taste of your lips
I think of sunshine, but I imagine an eclipse.
  
I know life will bring more, like leaving me behind a closed door,
I'll survive every pain, like dying every night was not a fun game,
I stay awake in sleep, like I have more promises to keep.
I believed every word you said, like beautiful lies didn't exist.
  
Heartache is only imaginary, like I'm begging for a cure,
its not like you're never happy again, like I can recall the last time I was,
it hurts but its not the end of the world, like there is more to lose?
life is not just about 'love', like love is all there is to life.
  
I think I'm having split feelings, I think one thing and it means something else in my head. Which you may have realized after reading this through.

Very nice. And I sympathize, in past years of loving... thinking one thing (or more)... feeling another (and then some)... wondering why (and why not)... and when will it cease (but fearing what left will there be)... another choice (of life over death)... life taking precedence (of course, because it can)... walking, talking, plodding through... (to?)... wherever it was meant to take, me....

Or that is what I heard, in my own heart.

Your lovely poem.
