A/N: This is a poem that I found in my school's time capsule from my freshman year during the time when we were reading this book in English class. I forgot about it, so reading it now is sort of weird, but what stings is that this is better than some of the poetry I write now, and I was just a freshman when I wrote this and I just finished my senior year now. Ugh, life.
So I really just HATE the fact that FF doesn't allow poetry formats. It SUCKS so much because I needed this one of all to be formatted correctly because it changes. So, its two sestets followed by two quatrains followed by another sestet. Hope you enjoy!
Final Moments
The end is the beginning
What a curious thing to say
As I feel my own life dimming
Farther and farther away
As life is not worth living
Not without her anyway.
In this room I have starved myself silly
My mind in a constant daze
I see flashes of moments long gone
Lost in a distant haze
When Cathy's eyes come down upon me
In a sight sure to amaze.
She tells me to come with her
To a place where we know best
Where our love could never wither
In a place of eternal rest.
Now I feel Death's grip around me
Struggling to take hold
So that is why this came to be
My last moment ever told.
See, my life is really dimming
Farther and farther away
As Death takes away the living
But I refuse to bend
Because in truth, I loved my beginning
And the beginning is the end.
