The End

As the light leaves my eyes
The darkness descending
A smile touches my lips
For soon it’ll be over
My pain will be gone
In the nothingness of death

Too many years spent alone
A heart broken and scarred  
Leaving behind only bitterness and sorrow
That as the end nears
Only relief do I feel
In these last moments

Their names I remember
Though I’m long forgotten
A love never returned
A life of a lonely man
Lost in the shadows
Where no one dare look

Who will wonder in?
On this bloody scene
Of someone long forgotten
A soul lost long ago
That in the end
Only death brings relief

Will anyone care that I’m gone?
Will even a single tear be shed?
Or will I be unloved even in death?
But care I not!
Hope long gone
As I reach this my end
