A Gamers Adventure
I stood upon the precipice and looked down into the abyss below
that final stretch of road, the ending to my long and arduous journey
I awaited the eternal torment,
It was time to atone for my sins, and this I knew
This I accepted gladly.
My life had played out its sad tune
The melody was bitter-sweet, the crescendos rose and fell too often
The composer must have laughed when he wrote the score
For too long had it rung endlessly in my ears
The final note, now sat waiting to be played.
I stared into the darkness as it stared right back up
Into the very heart of my twisted soul
Knowing me fully, embracing the good and the bad
As it did so, images flew through my mind
The people I'd killed,
The evil monsters and the good people alike.
A chilling wind blew across me, the notes slowed
Time all but stopped as my body lurched slowly forwards
Eternity's hand had grasped me, the notes started to fade
All the good, all the evil of my life, now meaningless
A foot note on the pages of History.
As the darkness engulfed me
Small, final ponderings fluttered across my fading view
I had left my mark upon the shattered world
But for Good, or for Ill?
I would never know.
I breathe my last
Never ending blackness surrounds me
No heat, no feeling, only emptiness remains
The end has come
And finally the music stops
