Lifetime
Once loved
now lost
I shoved
knew the cost
lost the war
cheated destiny
Please no more
just come and get me
Here I lay
Alone and hurt
not long to stay
I'll turn to dirt
I can not hear
nor can I see
I know it's near
coming for me
not long left
time runs short
I need to rest
and leave port
an ocean of pain
a stream of life
still no gain
just my knife
slide it under my skin
as I sleep
touch none of my kin
take only me
Born of dust
thrived as flesh
returned at dusk
a silent mess.
