Too Tired To Go On
I've sampled the many fruits of
life, and dwelled in its many
woes.
Sailed to different distant
shores, and witnessed flagrant
shows.
I've aged too fast before my
time, but feel that this I must
do.
In search of something better,
if not just something new.
Deeply weary to the bone, I
start stumbling a lot my dear.
Only hoping for the best, in the
upcoming year.
Pain and sorrow always follows
me, despite all reflecting in any
pond.
Loneliness my only companion,
probably right into the great
beyond.
Memories forever taunt me, of
things done so long ago.
Your face to evermore haunt
me, as on and on I go.
This journey seeming endless,
a quest of seeking peace.
This path called life, when will
it just cease.
Vast troubles and countless
heartaches, seem to be my
only gain.
Love and riches have escaped
me, in this life's funny game.
Must I keep going and carrying
on, or may I please finally stop
and rest, for I am much too
tired to go on.
