A purpose, A story

The Chirping birds, the piercing winds, the incessant drizzle,
A cliff so high, A gorge so deep, there I was standing in a fizzle.

A purpose in mind, a story to put behind.
I stood there, looking back in time.

A lonely life, A lonely thought, that’s all I had brought.
A lonely presence....
Searching for answers, my life, my essence.
For sometimes I feel no one understands me,
But then what have I been to them?

The strong gust of breeze, was making me freeze
My body so weak, that I was beginning to feel meek.
Time kept ticking and my body kept sinking
With thoughts flowing swift, my mind was beginning to rift.

A purpose in mind, a story to put behind.
I stood there, living back in time.

If there was a king who turned things into gold, everything he touched,
There was me, who lost everything that he loved.
A life of failure, keeps you busy learning
But a life of solitude, leaves you yearning.

Every step that I took in life, took me places
At every step I kept meeting new faces.
Some left soon, others drifted as I walked along.
Few always stay in my heart, where they truly belong.

As the skies opened to pour, I was sinking in my own hour.
With not a soul around, I was quickly losing ground.
As the skies began to thunder, I felt a tremble.
Bright lightning from the skies, steady flow of tears from my eyes.

A lost love, A lost friend, A lost soul
My life was all smelling foul.
Life by itself cannot be unfair, but I have come this far
And seen nothing but mar

A purpose in mind, a story to put behind.
Time for me to put this to an end.

As I take a plunge into the deep abyss,
It was my last attempt to end a void.
As nature opens her arm to welcome me,
I felt the rush through my veins, as if someone putting an end to my reign.
A silent tear, A silent prayer.

A purpose in mind, a story to put behind.
An era put to an end.
