When I die
Jul 26, 2017 · 1 min read
When I die
This body wrecked
Mind detached
Or still clung firm
Let me writhe, dear friends
Let me swear and sweat
Let my final drop of poisoned blood
Crawl through battered weakened veins
Make bitter path to fading heart
Let it spark and shudder and cause me pain
Let me have this last embrace
Let me draw this moment till it’s taut
Let it last, dear love
Let me hurt, one last time
Let me fight against approaching night
’Til, every ounce of will is shed
Until, with a final breath,
Let my pain depart
A joyful, fearful, suffering love
Bound in fading, dying, broken heart.
