My Last Goodbye

By darkness_descends

If this is being read
I have recently passed
From the realm of the living to the land of the dead
I am now just a piece of the past.

To the few who care, you need not grieve
My time had come, it was my choice to leave.
No longer could I stand the constant pain,
That resides in my heart, overwhelms me with disdain.
Throughout the years I was alive,
Innumerable tears I did cry.
With each day my sadness deepened,
And my will to live slowly weakened.
Emptiness was all I could feel,
Happiness and sanity became all but real.
I know my actions can not be undone,
But please believe I meant to hurt no one.
My last request is that this be looked at not as the end,
Rather a new begining, for on the otherside we will meet again.
Let not sadness reach your heart, nor tears graze your eyes,
And know that I sincerely appoligize.
Finally ask not the question "Why?"
Just accept this as my last good bye.
