A Change of Pace.

Last Light.

The light has started to fade,
As you end another day,
And watch the sky lose it's color,
As it all turns so grey,

You look back and remember,
What you've done in your life,
You look back and remember,
When I asked you to be my wife,

You look back and regret it,
When your answer was no,
You look back and you shudder,
Now your heart is so cold,

And you'll die alone,
Like I said you would,
No-one there to hold your hand,
Wouldn't that be good,

All the times I said I cared,
But you turned me away,
Now your cold and alone,
On your dying day,

Tired, scared and all alone,
Oh so full of fright,
No-one there to hold your hand,
As you slip into the night,

Holding back a mighty flood,
Of all your lonely tears,
Because I wasn't there,
For all these lonely years,

No-one else to blame now,
Nothing else to do,
Say a last goodbye,
As your lips turn blue,

Nothing else to say now,
For all the love I gave,
Your life has finally ended,
It's time to dig the grave.

Last paragraph added at 0400 on the 05/07/2009 while on Patrol duty at MCH. Just felt it needed it.

I won't mention names, but this and many other poems (not yet posted, and may never be), we're written because of the pain I had to deal with from my ex girlfriend. Lets just call it my way of dealing with the unwanted emotions. Makes good inspiration though, LOL. If I get some feedback I may consider posting some more. Lets face it, people love it when someone else is in pain, very entertaining. Just like Funniest Home Videos.

The poem is set many years into the future, when she's about 80, just so you know. It's not like I don't want her to be happy, I just don't think she will ever let herself be happy.

Pathos.
