Whispers of the End

A Fictional Goodbye

Whispers of the End

I’m sorry, my friends,

I’m sorry, my family,

I’m sorry, my sister,

And to the loves I’ve lost

I’m sorry......

I’ve reached the end of my road,

Weighed down by a pain

I cannot name.

These thoughts, so dark,

Circle like shadows,

And I’m failing.

I wish I were stronger,

But this time

I don’t know if I can be.

I’m tired,

And I don’t want to be here,

Caught in this endless ache.

There’s not much I can do,

Not much I can offer.

I feel so low,

And the climb ahead

Feels impossible....

My mind is a storm,

My body, a battlefield.

The trauma lingers,

A weight too heavy to bear.

To face it feels insurmountable.

I love you all,

But I don’t know if I can do this.

I’m losing myself,

Drowning in bottles,

Fading into the trees.

I’m lost

Scattered into pieces.

I need help,

But what can help me?

I’m trying,

I’m doing my best.

But even my best

Falls short of a single step forward.

God, I’m tired.
