this is the end

It always disappears when I need it the most.

These paths cross but they're never one and the same.

I should just leave because I can't stand another day.

There's nothing here that should ever bear this name.



These eyes see things you'll never see.

One day it wasn't like this.

I wish that day was here again.



Now nothing ever crosses the line.

Everything just leaves me behind.

I wish someone would just look twice,

Instead of always passing me by.



This is why I make this exit,

Although you won't see me go.

That is why I'm dead and empty,

So I don't really need to die.

This is all I've never said to you;

You wouldn't listen anyhow.

And this is the end,

Now I must leave you

Even though you never knew I was here.



This is the end.

I'll have no more of this.

No more looking for what I'll never find.

Always wanting what I can never have.

Wanting to tell you anything, but never finding the words.

Wishing there could be anything, but always left with nothing.

So this is the end.

The diction of this poem is quite interesting. The words I and nothing appear in every piece of the poem which leads me to believe that it is written from a first person point of view and the speaker is speaking of nothingness.

This is a nice poem. It has good metaphors, and good repetition. I enjoyed it.
