Prologue to an epilogue or epilogue to a prologue?

(NOTE: each paragraph is an alternating POV shift)

I sat overlooking all that I had culminated in my life. I felt fear. Fear for what was to come. I am long past the twilight of my life and I am nothing more than a candle waiting to be blown out once and for all. However, I was aggrieved; my life has been held to many as great; if not extraordinary.  

I sat overlooking all I had tried to end this torment. I feel remorse. Regret for what has passed. I have long since passed many days and many nights awaiting a twilight that has never come; my life is an inextinguishable inferno. Contrary to what people believe: immortality is agonizing.

“A monarch who stood above all but never saw himself as such”: many acknowledge this sentiment. However I wish for it to remain a sentiment and not an epitaph. I’m scared; Fearful of death. Mabey it is an innate response; Mabey I am cowardly; Mabey I should just accept it.  But when a chance presents itself, no matter how small, I must cling to it with all of my being.

“A man who was once someone. Is someone and will become someone”: few follow this sentiment. However I wish for this to be but a concept of the past where all tenses fade away allowing for me to finally reach my terminal moment so that I may use it as an epitaph for all those who I have known and I have yet to meet. I’m weary; awaiting for death. But when a chance presents itself, no matter how small, I must cling to it with all of my being.
