Fade to Black

Gathering up the pieces
of whats left of me
i try to make my out
it was a hard fight
that shattered a long dream
and a deeper desire to life
one that brought an end to a life
a castle that was once standing in its full glory
now lay in ruins
like the once mighty unicorn,
i was the most admired beast
now just like my mythical counterpart
i am no more than a figment of imagination
a mighty beast that once existed
now exists in the memories of those who knew it
a thousand dreams
a thousand desires to live
now lay crushed under the forces of darkness
with nowhere to go to
and no one to lean onto
i painfully try to make my way out
i slowly try to fade into black
i slowly try to fade into the darkness
that i once tried to conquer,
unsuccessfully
i slowly try to fade away

note: I was planning to end it at a total of 9 poems. but i think the 8th and 9th would have to wait. If i dont write it, then consider this to be end of the series.
title is inspired by the song “Fade to Black” by “Metallica
