The end of me

edited August 2004 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
Never thought that I
would have a chance to think about
how I might go
To watch it all slip away
and fall like dominos

How can I keep readin'
when I know the end
misplaced my faith
when I discovered my fate
reasons untold
may I be so bold
to wonder why

Why can't I save myself
Hope can't save me now
Faith cant save me now
why can't I save myself

From being so alone

When I am gone
Don't you question why
I've already asked
Still waiting for the reply

How can I look
at whats been takin away
I can't be free
when this chain is so tight
this fate I hold
may I be so bold
to wonder why

Why I can't save myself
Hope can't save me now
Faith can't save me now
Why can't I just save myself

From being so alone

Misery-fortunes lost among the sea
Hollow and empty-futures is but a few grains of sand
How can this be-why do I have to see
what will be
the end of me

I'm so alone
I'm so alone
I'm so alone

    Thanks, glad to be here. Wasn't sure what to post about until I found the art forums. =0)

    This is one of my most recent songs. Still trying to write music for it, but I can't figure out what sound to go for.

    oops.. I meant to add what this was about..

    A 15 year old boy has cancer in various places in his body. Doctors say he has about 6 months to live. After I was informed of this it really brought me down.

    After thinking about it all day, I put myself in his position and tried to 'feel' what he would be feeling. Thats where this song came from.

    You managed well. You have good observation and empathy. Thank you for your poem.
