The End by Barbara Carvallo

All things come to an end,

In a time of their choosing
They simply fade away,
Into darkness, into nothingness

It is best to see the end coming,
To accept and even invite  it
So as to avoid the most painful end,
Grief, despair and the end of hope

A resilient heart accepts the end,

Even when it is unexpected
Yet something goes with it,
Leaving only a shadowy scar behind.
