Remember me, remember my swan song, <br /> <br />I can't re-orient myself, <br />I can't live it all over again, <br />I can't re-orient myself, <br />I can't live that stain of my plastered smile again, <br /> <br />Let this be the last moment, <br />Let me say the last good-bye, <br />It won't count anything now, <br />So let me lay in silence, <br /> <br />Life has treated me well and I have had enough of it, <br />Lets end this game, <br />Enough of milling in and out, <br />Hear my swan song, <br /> <br />And let this end now, <br />I need to be away, <br />away from these thorns, <br />far far away, <br /> <br />Where you'll only see my memories, <br />my shadows, <br />my untold stories buried after me, <br />and my last swan song, <br /> <br />Hear my swan song, <br />I feel like a fish out of water, <br />from pillar to post, <br />fallen back upon, <br /> <br />Let me be buried under sand, <br />let me give my final test, <br />I'll never return, its time to sing, <br />sing my last swan song, <br /> <br />Hear my swan song, <br />maybe this moment or the other, <br />my soul would rest in peace, <br />before disappearing, <br />let me sing, <br />sing my swan song, <br /> <br />I only remember now the memory lived in me, <br />a perfectly encapsulated morsel, <br />of a good past, <br />from piebald brush strokes swaying, <br />to barren now, that I'd become, <br /> <br />As I'll say my last goodbye, <br />hear my swan song, <br />because now you'll never hear my voice again, <br />for ever and ever and ever... <br /> <br />Written on 5/6/11<br /><br />Ayesha Riaz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-swan-song-dying-sentence/
