The Future's End
I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone
It seems I'm destined in this life
to walk it all alone
There's no one who can feel my pain
or know my misery
I wait for Death to take my hand
since nothing's left for me
My tortured soul keeps searching for
the comfort in the end
Since loneliness and emptiness
have been my only friend
The peace of mind within myself
can never be replaced
I long to feel the gentle touch
within It's warm embrace
Will the whispering still echo
inside my haunted heart
While the distant memories of the past
keep tearing me apart
Constantly I 've had to fight
with demons of my own
As I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone
my future carved in stone
It seems I'm destined in this life
to walk it all alone
There's no one who can feel my pain
or know my misery
I wait for Death to take my hand
since nothing's left for me
My tortured soul keeps searching for
the comfort in the end
Since loneliness and emptiness
have been my only friend
The peace of mind within myself
can never be replaced
I long to feel the gentle touch
within It's warm embrace
Will the whispering still echo
inside my haunted heart
While the distant memories of the past
keep tearing me apart
Constantly I 've had to fight
with demons of my own
As I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone

I think I have said this before, but you have a natural ability for rhyme in that it seldom seems forced. Which, in this format often does.
I think you've encapsulated the feeling of depression very well here - though I haven't experienced it personally, I certainly know many friends and acquaintances who have. They describe it as an all-consuming black hole slowly absorbing them.
In my attempts to relate, I would imagine and outer darkness as the bible explained, where there was nothing or anyone but me. Floating endlessly alone without any conscious connection. The best thing to do would be to embrace and learn from them. But I do think there's more - a way to move past them once you have.

As always, thank you for the time to read and comment on my poem, it is very much appreciated.
To be honest, I don't really know what made me write this one. At the time I was writing it, I was in a good place. But, as with most of my poetry, I just sit down and put pen to paper......whatever gets written done is always a surprise to me lol. Sometimes its worth saving.....sometimes it isn't, but its always a journey.
Again, thank you for your comments, they are always appreciated.
