The Fate

Fading memories Forgotten past Frozen mind and spoiled dreams I feel to hear the bells of death The chariot of God driven by white horses Started the journey Who will cry? Who will put a wreath? Who will fire my funeral? Who will put a light in my graveyard? Who will dismiss my ash in a holy river? I do not know That is the fate of a lonely man as me That is the fate of a lonely man as me.

OH MY! I can TOTALLY understand how loneliness can do this and that is what makes this poem so REAL. It just doesn't feel like enough to be ALIVE but not LIVING. Terrible terrible feeling. If this IS how you feel, I hope for better days sooner than later <3

Very sad, but not too late. Go out and do some good deeds for those who will remember you as the kind person you are and who will truly miss you when you are not here. Make good friends. You don't have to rely on relatives - - well that is what I've found in life. When you are dead it is too late.
