My last breath
The cold wind freezes my bones,
My thoughts soar into a little hole,
They slowly fall, losing their breath,
What had happened? No one can guess.
My life has been such a mess,
I can feel my body crying for a bless.
For what reason would I want to stay,
All I've been doing is pushing you away.
I'm having my last breath,
Never again; that's what they say,
My thoughts; they all fly away,
Dreams I will never dream again.
My mind flies aside the sidewalk,
I can sense the fear in my heart,
But I know this is just the start
Of a new story; a new clock.
Seconds won't pass as they do,
I thought the story would be me and you.
Alone I walk; flying through the day,
This was meant to be my way.
I'm having my last breath,
Never again; that's what they say,
My thoughts; they all fly away,
Dreams I will never dream again.
I walk the street; it starts to rain,
As if the clouds knew I wanted to cry
I can't go through this pain,
It's my turn to die.
Thank you for being my friend,
I can't tell you; I'm so afraid.
But I know one thing for sure,
This is the way, this is my cure.
