My Final Wish

November 11, 2012
By Anonymous

Shadows all around me
As I slip into the dark
The fragility of my mind
Relays the state of my heart

I know I can't carry on like this,
Every day is a war
I used to want your company
But now I've closed the door

The only companion I have now
Is the shimmering of the moon
My troubles ring in my ears
Just like a constant tune

This isn't how I wanted to live,
Always in agony
Try as I might, it's too hard
To keep from drowning in this sea

Tired all the time, my eyes
Are heavy and bear much pain
It's hard to live under the light
When all there is, is rain

Dreaming, sleeping is easier
And it's all I'd like to do
Without the stress and loneliness
I can finally be with you

Now all I need is apathy,
So give me a final kiss
I want to drift away and sleep forever
That is my final wish.

So, I'm kind of new to poetry and writing in general. This was one of my first attempts and I would really appreciate some feedback and constructive critisism. Thanks so much for reading :)
