The End #poetry

The End

I sit here, weak and dreary

My eyes swollen, dark and teary

Each breath I take, tight and shaky

The wind feels like sand, coarse and breaking

Did you know I would feel like this?

It’s like the earth moved and I didn’t

Yet, I’m spinning out of control

With a life that doesn’t have you in it.

The sun no long wakens me early in the morning

The sounds of your voice no longer cradles me

That should’ve been my first warning

Darkness rocks me to sleep now, its cold breath chills my bones

I wear loneliness like a blanket, oh, how I wish I would’ve known

You’ll be fine, they say, the pain will fade with time

But this isn’t their ache, their sorrow has never fallen in this line

I pray the end is near, for another day will surely kill me

But I’ve been told the agony never fades

Only ebbs and flows like the sea

I must conclude the rest of my life will be no more

Than the replay of love and joy that, together, we shored
