Die Alone

[iblieve]

Death’s hand reaches out,
its icy breath freezes my mind.
Cataclysmic thoughts renders me helpless.
Torn from slumber by the footsteps of passing time,
severing another link to the past.
Memories dead long ago,
passing into an eternity of loss.
The invisible hand of time cuts away
another thread from the fabric of life
leaving me naked
in the chilling atmosphere of loneliness.

Death’s hand reaches out.
Another shimmering light from the past
passes into eternity
buried beneath familiar soil,
and it’s time to move on,
closer to my destiny and death
someday,
while
the evolutions of life
has made me an outcast
where once I sought shelter.

Death’s hand reaches out
from the void of a dark infinity,
mockingly, daring me to make a stand,
to stop the cycle of my fear,
not of dying, but of dying alone.
In resignation I accept
the fate awaiting me,
and know I will probably
Die Alone!

ultimatley, we all die alone...sad but true. We cant take our friends with us...big bummer I think. But, as you fade, Ill be there until you start your next journey. I just might be the last thing you see as you start your new path....we will have to wait and see. Excellent, sad, depressing poem. Love you~Dandy

This is just about right for my current mood.

Hope you are feeling better now, when I wrote this I was feeling pretty low, but now I have high hopes of NOT dying alone. Thanks Territorial hawk for all your comments

Loneliness is a bit*& especially when your in the deepest of pits, i know. There a certain underlying stength we recieve from enduring these deeply painful times. You portray it beautifully brother. Sublimely.:) I like.And I' so happy you made it through. tj

Thanks morgan, similiar minds percieve the darkness from the same points of reference. Our past makes our vision clearer. iblieve

Yes TJ, I survive, but not because of any help from my old friends. I survive because I refuse to quit, like you my brother. That's why we will make BMD work. Looking forward to next year and all the accomplishments we will achieve individually and together, You ,Dandy and I. iblieve

It strikes me you are burdoned with worry. Some people carry the weight of other peoples worry. Perhaps you do this. I've people with this type of heart before, it seemed these freinds should look deeper into the relationship and see the loss of one who frets over them.

No Mike I am not burdened, I learned to let go of the things I cannot change, but to change the things I can. I do have compassion and use my writing to point out what I feel is wrong about our society. I think you for your comment and hope you continue to read my works. Your friend iblieve
