Slowly leaving
Slowly dying
Slowly withering away
Soon it’ll be time to
say
Goodbye forever
Even though I never
Thought I’d say goodbye
For I never believed I’d
die
As my body rots before
my eyes
I ask myself, Why can’t
I die like everyone else dies?
A quick, painless death
is all I wanted
Not a death so haunted
By evil spirits, an ungrateful
beast
Though, then I could never
admit defeat
Too tired to care
Too tired to dare
To make a sound
I’m too tightly bound
To this hospital bed
My eyes are turning red
Eyes, the window to the
soul
Mine is flailing, out
of control
I wouldn’t make the same
mistake
If I could have just one
retake
But this is the last scene
Of a dying dream
There is nothing I can
do
As my face slowly turns
blue
The end is near, I can
feel it now
It’ll soon be time to
take a bow
As the curtains come down
My smile turns to a frown
And I’m alone
Sitting in my throne
The last of my subjects
is gone
Left the night, Left for
the dawn
