Time To Die

The final page is written
So ends my book of life
Nothing special in it's content
I lived a modest life

My time here now is over
The end I've feared is nigh
My book of life lies closed now
I know it's time to die

No time for tears
No time for goodbyes
Letting go of this existance
It's time for me to die

The beliefs held to be true
Denied the truth with lies
Don't want to believe it all ends here
No-one wants to die

No new beginning
No promised afterlife
Just eternal nothingness
There is no "Other Side"

No time for tears
No time for goodbyes
Not everything will end though
Death will never die

Once there was a darkness

"Not everything will end though,
Death will never die."
how true, and how depressing...but from death comes the threshhold for new life.
your words are wonderful...keep it up.

What a dark poem. And soooo good. I feel the gloom encroach upon me, smothering me as I read!

This is a really good poem    Yes, depressing, I agree, but also expressing what is, I suppose, a truth.  Great work!

Nice one, depressing but true.  Good job.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

A very sad poem.
Death is for the dying but life is eternal.
