A Tragic End

As my heart, my once faint light,

seemingly glows,

with each and every sunrise

only to rest, ever so peacefully

at the first breath of night…

My spirit quietly wakes,

as does my dying heart,

my precious soul...

a living, breathing work of art…

I spoke to my one love,

I said to her…

“Forever as I wish, I may…

write out this eternal pain,

and bleed my sorrows away...

until then, only then

...shall my time reach its end”

As tears trickled down her face,

I continued to spill my heart,

in hopes that she would understand...

“The memories; the many shattered dreams,

shall be forever lost,

within the seas of time

but never forgotten,

hidden inside a cave… a hollow heart…”

But as I held her eyes,

her focus remained

and I spoke my final few words

the last I would ever say...

“My heart, my broken art,

pierced by a poisoned dart

left to drown within my sorrows...

until the end, the final tomorrow…”

And so I lay there,

frozen in time

having lost my love

soon after quickly ending my life…

regretting all that was,

and all that could have been

Who knew that it would become,

that all of this...would lead us to…

such a tragic end...
