Premature Conclusion

by Tripp   Dec 14, 2008


I can't see how, don't know why
I feel as if I'm living destined to die
I wish I understood, wish that I knew
but the fact remains, that I know this is true

that my fuse was cut to the very end
that I'm restrained to what the fates intend
I look to my future and all I see is dark
not even a candle flicker, not even a spark

I'm here for a good time and not for a long one
since before we know it my life will be done
I've burned bright, brighter, then faded away
nothing more than a match fallen in this ashtray

compared to other's my life is but a fleeting existence
doomed to dissolution while you're gifted with nascence
Some of us are created with a purpose to stay
Mine was to join in, just to go away

    Interesting, I havnt quite seen a poem similar to this in wording before so great job, theres only one little thing I think you could do to make it perfect and that would be to use capps at the beginning of each new sentance =]
    The first stanza I would have to say is my favourite because the reader gets pulled straight into the piece and trys to understand your feelings. Overall a sad poem yet it's written beautifully ^^
