The time of final decisions,
Quietly approaches with warning.
Situations and feelings seen and unseen,
As I wonder what will ultimately be.
I don't even desire a final answer,
Knowing that pain surely will follow.
How far away is my final destination,
Or is it closer that I want to think.
No one speaks a word of it,
As it taps me on the shoulder every morning.
For love ultimately will never be mine,
Or maybe its true colors are not really desirable.
To a person like me it's not so simple,
For life had never been so plain.
I have witnesses much more pain,
Not knowing if I have caused it.
As I wait not so patiently,
For a longing for end to all eternity.
Loving is far too hard for me,
In all forms it only taunts thee.
Give me the warnings I will see,
Or explain it to me as I desire.
Make some noise and interrupt,
The many thoughts that consume every minute.
My life has never had a simple moment,
Where even a minute of peace ever could be.
To blame anyone is unfair,
For maybe I just don't want to see.
Quietly approaching not fast enough,
That moment of finality comes this way soon,
