Farewell to God

By GothicBlack



That of dreams
And that of hope
Means nothing more to me
Here I stand
In front of you
My beholder
Lost in a sea of tears
Over run by fears
Its time, I know
I can tell
Simply by
The slightest movement
Of your hand, or head
My heart is heavy
Too filled with sorrows
Of unknown mysterious
Shadows of doubt
Swirl around me
But time's grief
Is overwhelming
And age has not
Treated me so nicely
So here I am
I stand in front
Of you, my judge
My mystic
I fear however
That I've lost my faith
Faith in myself
My self worth, unwanted,
I can't understand
The world around me
I've lost myself in the crowd
In the sea of tears I drown
Unaware is my mind
To my bodies sickness
I feel I am ready
To be put to rest
My spirit has died within
I've spent myself
Too thin these years
I realize now
I loved you all
But to all I must
Say goodbye

















I can see my Angel
Her beauty surpassing
All I've ever seen.
On the foothills of green
Flourishing in her life
Of mystic powers
Overpowering
I must go to her
You see, you must understand
It's time for me to go
And I can not
Find it in my heart
To love you God
I can not lie any longer
I do NOT love you God
So I go unto death
With this uncertainty
But I can not find faith
When one does not believe
But do not worry
I still go towards my Angel

    This poem is beautiful. Your melancholy tone captures every word of this piece. Since no one else was going to comment on your poem, I thought I should. Also, know I'm always here with a shoulder.~T~

    aside from picking this thing to death, i think it is a wonderful write. very beautiful, opening yourself, being vulnerable. i like it, plain and simple.

    Silly kids, arguing religion as if any of you know what the hell you're talking about. Tara, this was heartbreaking. I want you to be happy, really happy. You deserve it babe, hopefully this was just midnight scribblings.

    just to clearify past postings. This poem isn't about the Christion God. Nor does it matter, for i was getting at that i lost faith in myself more than anything.

    well thanks for clearing that.

  • A former member wrote: That was obvious, in my opinion..yes, this was crushing.

    it wasn't meant as a suicide poem (though now that i read it agian, i see how one could get that). It is simply about giving up in everything

    amd for the record. I am not christion nor am i really an atheist either. I am just me and my beliefs i feel i do not need to explain. ~gothic~

  • A former member wrote: Gothic, I apologize that your poem has been littered..I saw your despair outlined clearly in this poem..a lovely portrayal of frustration and loyalty, dear.
