Striking pain within my chambers
Nights follows with reinforced sorrows
I give no thought about tomorrows

When last visited grieve
Time giving to more hurt
With flowers upon the holy dirt

At last my trip is coming to an end
Halted by my souls dying passion
I try to give more to my eye’s vision

Looking back to steps long taken
Age gives only sight on the past
I deny my destiny’s end til the last

Hollow are forgotten wounds
Contained in my emotion’s memory
Caught upon the drift of life’s symmetry

Did my tears run dry of yesterday’s cry?
Balance turns the tides of tears
Loathing expectations and discerning glorious fears

The rhyme is good but you have too many non specific words here,
pain, destiny, tears, sorrow, passion, they sound pretty but these words don't tell the reader anything.
I would be more specific, cut out some of the fat and get down to the meat
of what you are trying to say. Best to you!
