Gabriella Mantone Poems

What's this place that's hiding me. What's that noise that's haunting me.

Where's  this horizon that I can see, but I know I will never reach.
...

Wretched pain
Go away
Wipe these tears from my face
Falling deep
...

I used to call you lover, now I call you friend. I once had called you enemy, but I don't remember when.

I used to call you stranger, now I call you jerk. I once had called you lover, but that had never worked.
...

I hate when you climb so far up, and the smallest mistake has you falling to your death. Again.
I hate when the who person means s*** to you makes you cry.
I hate when your happy and your best friends sad, and you sad and your best friends happy.
I hate watching people cry over some stupid b****.
...

Some people are scared of death, they spend their whole life running away from the enivitable. Others welcome death, and what they fear most is living life itself.

That's where real fear lies, in the depths of every corner, every open space, every soul. Once you take your last breath nothing can harm you, but every heart beat, every step, every word leads you to a long spinning tirade of pain.
