My final farewell is written in verse, <br />I'll soon be in that dark, sombre hearse, <br />The life within me drained as a bath, <br />I'm heading north, on my final path. <br /> <br />There's no will to live, and no one to live for, <br />Fragments of my soul lie somewhere offshore, <br />Mere memories of life, slowly fade, <br />As do the tears, as I lower the blade. <br /> <br />The rusty blade turns brown to red, <br />But I smile relief, I'll soon be dead, <br />The tears begin to fall as I remember she, <br />And I hope beyond hope that she's still happy. <br /> <br />As the final drops drip from my battered vein, <br />I realise my largest mistake above the pain, <br />That there was something to live for, that's you, <br />And the final image flashes before me, as us, as two.<br /><br />Daniel Sims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/final-farewell-5/
