One day I fear that I will be no more,

That I will soon hear death’s knock on my door.

Never again will I dwell in life,

Leaving behind my pain and strife.

I wonder if you will miss me,

Or if a stranger’s corpse will be all that you see.

I am haunted by my sad and empty thoughts,

Of you and what your broken love has wrought.

Will you forget me once I’ve gone?

Will you mourn once, then quickly move on?

A part of me wishes desperately to stay

So that I will never have to pay

For the awful sins and petty sorrows,

Of my present days and my tomorrows.

And I wonder, is destiny a one way track?

Is there no way to ever turn it back?

Death is something I cannot deny,

A dreadful thing not even you can defy.

We’ll all breathe in our final breaths,

Like it or not, we must all meet death.
