Poetry Corner: I Wish I Could Rest In Peace

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rowan chapter.

It seems I always come back to you,

but only in my poems.

 

You see,

I don’t write of flowers on my doorstep

or notes on my dashboard.

 

No,

I speak of the nights where I’m fighting back tears,

leaving the TV on for light.

 

The darkest moments, my loneliest weeks,

were those I spent mourning us.

Channeling back is like an addiction,

re-watching tragedies until dawn

just to feel alive.

 

I was never alive

 

until you killed me.

I am a Writing Arts major at Rowan University. Poetry is my best friend. One day, I hope to be a successful writer for a popular magazine in NYC. My dream is to travel to Paris, London, and Rome to explore and write about my experiences there.
