“I open at the close”
Final chapters almost done
eyes water
sleepless nights won
Turning pages
just one more line
A story that transcends time

Final chapter
a world coming to an end
a period of my life
almost finished, though it’s all pretend
Fighting the balance
the urge to know
what finale is waiting to unfold
Even though I don’t want the story
to come to a close

Can’t sleep yet
My eyelids fall
must see this through
and dream of these characters of my youth

I’ve come to the period
that is the end
my heart is happy and sad again
Sleep overcomes
but the story lives on
in my dreams the best story lives on
