How it Ends?

How it Ends?

A single candle,
flickers from the past,
of a time of sorrow,
a loss of innocence,
we of the ending,
of the truth,
but I,
so is spoken,
I recollection of past sins,
of deeds thus done,
of loves thus lost,
time long ago.

I stand,
an age of ill fate,
I rage,
for this of my end,
a glint of silver,
of a wound of old,
of a time of death.

Was I real,
did I laugh,
so I forgotten,
of so ill waiting,
reaching for that yonder star,
only to be burnt by the gentle rays.

Last one forgotten,
first one found,
I curse thee,
so it is written,
of I of they,
the gentle light as the candle falls,
a laugh from the madman, I,
grinning in the darkness,
a flash of silver,
an etch of red.

I kneel,
and pray to the nonexistant gods,
for release,
the piper comes.

I fall,
alone,
dying,
reaching,
the light fading,
a single tear,
bloodstained,
of the future,
I renounce,
of recollection,
the agony,
the blank,
the ending.

Is this how it ends?
for those of us forgotten,
to die,
as oneself,
to renounce the truth,
as one falls from grace.
