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.

Justcallme Britt Date: 6/28/2012 7:23:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Jayachandran Chakrapany Date: 6/28/2012 9:18:00 PM thank you for your kind words .jk

Josie Whitehead Date: 6/24/2012 3:25:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
