I Am Gone Poem by Jennifer Dott

I shall fall
Never to get up again
And I shall lie
Sleeping like the dead
Sweet life is drained from me
Like it is meant to be
For I’m now gone
I’m wasting away
Never to return
To this time of cruelty
This life is forfeit
It doesn’t deserve me
Swept away
Just let me be right now
Waiting for the end
The light will shine
I have made amends
The hope that was lost
It will return again
Swift wings I shall fly
Locked away
A heart that was broken
Shall be mended whole
The darkness has spoken
I am losing all control
A path that you are meant to fallow
Shall desert you in your place
Taken away
You will never return to me
The sweet words beyond the grave
Whispering among the trees
I shall be Deaths slave
When I return,
I’m a spirit in your race;
Broken away
Tears of blood stream from my eyes
Pain beyond simple words
Shrieking with inhuman cries
Unlike nothing you have heard
My wings of abysses darkness
Servant in Deaths night
Kept away
Surrender your hated life
To life of peace aplenty
Or live in agonizing pain and strife
Feeling dead and empty
Lives of every human
Shall cringe in terror at the sight
Hidden away
I am gone
