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 all the other poems can be found in my the previous posts.
