the end of a life

So tired of this lonely life
So now I say goodbye
Last sight is of this dagger
I sheathe it in my heart

Lets its aching beat cease
Let my thoughts roam no more
Roaming always to heartache
Returning always to her

Figment of my Imagination
A Dream within a Dream
Cotton Candy Constructs
Blown away in the breeze

Blade pierces Flesh
Blood falls like Rain
Myriad drops of Nothingness
Like a Flood spill forth

My loneliness ebbs with this Life
Draining away, dripping from my Dagger
As my heart stutters and stops...
The beats again, stronger than before

I step back from the ashes,
this old life gone, Dust in the Wind
A new one stretches before me
I take my angels had and walk away,down that long bright path

_i like the ammount of detail in this piece...and happy endings are so few and far inbetween at DP...it's a shame that you have to die in order to get a little peace in life...well done.

Hmm methinks it's a metaphor for killing one life in order to change, like a caterpillar metmophosing into a butterfly. But that's just my take on things, Great write.

How do we know there's life after death? How every ending there is a bginning. I have yet to see proof yet. Fact, not just what the bible says.

This is nothing against you, Alacer. Honestly, it was only something I think about day in and day out. If someone can prove me wrong, please do. =-MO-=
