Last moments as life is ebbing away.
Dragging my feet, trudging in the cold
Fell on my knees as I lost my hold
Like a flower that withers and fold
Never has youth felt so tired, so old
Fear and angst has taken over me
Oh where can I hide, I need to flee
I’m writhing in pain, can you not see
Falling, drowning deeply in the sea
I close my eyes, I no longer fight
No one has seen me, no one’s in sight
My one last hope in this dreary night
To see your face, my one ray of light
My heart beats with one more breath to heave
At life’s end, one thing left to believe
Just when everyone has gone to leave
There you were, the only one I need
