The End

Darkness closing in, I feel I’m fading fast,

I wish this weren’t the end, but we knew it wouldn’t last.

 

Soon I will be gone and I know the pain will be hard to bear,

But I want you to know that I believe in heaven and that I am needed there.

 

So remember me always and know I’m in a better place,

For one day soon you’ll find me, dwelling with God and know I found happiness in the presence of His grace.

There are many people in this community of poets who sometimes have felt the same way you did on that day, its ok to feel, I am not respondsible for my thoughts & feelings, they come and go as they please; However; I am accountable for my actions, so if you think you are going to cross a line between thinking about doing something and actully doing it please get help, it is out there if you want it.

I noticed

that you say in your poem that you believe in heaven, and I am happy about that. On days when you feel so alone and sad like you have noone, know that the Lord is always there and hears our prayers but we must be willing to listen to Him also. He puts people in our way to help us find what we are looking for. If you seek you will find! I hope you do not have to many more of those days when you feel alone and noone cares about you because that is so not true. God loves and cares for all of His children everyday. Please talk to someone about your feelings because you are important to this world and the longer you stay in it the greater place it will be. Any time you need to talk you can write to me if you want to. Wishing you many days of happiness. Julie

Sorry my previous comment was so flip and unconstructive.

What I would like to suggest is you have a look at your use of rhyming couplets, which need to be very carefully handled when conveying deep feelings or the work can end up sounding sentimental. The other thing is scansion, see how the last line runs so much longer than the others, it spoils the flow. The other lines could possibly use some editing too. Hope this helps. cheers, Jess
