Mom tells me I'll be fine, but I know better
I can hear the doctor tell her about what little time I have left
It's not death I'm so afraid of,I just didn't get to do much with my time
Besides that, it's the eternity thing I can't figure out
I can't even imagine that
My time is up now I suppose
I talked to all my old friends, told them how much I loved them, you know
It's not like I expected, knowing you're going to die anytime
I thought it would be worse really
But it's not over I suppose, lets see what happens
Looking back from where I am now, I remember the depressionsIwent through
Man, I miss them
What did I do to deserve this; my worst nightmare come true
I can only describe it in one way:
Hell
Oh yeah, fire, brimstone, all that stuff
Hurts like nothing you can even begin to imagine
And it's not just physical pain either
This is what I get though,
Eternity...what a strange word

It is personal, but its a fear, not a depression. Eternity is the scariest thing in the world in my opinion. Also, if u try and read it as a poem then it wont sound right, but its not really a poem. thanks 4 the comment

First of all I like the "waster of time" comment on your author page. Every good poet or writer is an excellent waster of time. This piece is not very positive on the eternity front. Wonder how it would have read if the reverse were true. Having lost some close people myself I can relate to the feelings expressed in "Parting Nightmare". The work verall is great and hope to keep seeing more of your work. RC

Word. Not world!

You forgot spacing, but still it's rather...what's the world? It doesn't seem to flow.
Is this personal? We need to have a wee little talk it tis!
