Selfish
I lie here in pain, my vision blurred
“My love…” I whisper, my voice slurred
Tears roll down my bloody face
And I can imagine you as you pace
Seeing you is my dying wish
I hate the fact that I’m so selfish
To want to bring you here, my face all wrong
Just to tell you I’ve loved you all along
And as the pain gets even stronger
I can’t hold it any longer
I let out a scream, my face contorted
My imminent death cannot be thwarted
And now my body becomes inert
Who knew dying caused so much hurt
Then the sun is gone, blocked out by dark
As I walk in a barren place, it’s so stark
Then I see a tunnel, the color bright white
And my conscience says “Stay away from the light”
But I just can’t help it, I jump into the hole
And then I’m swallowed up, getting out is suddenly my goal
Then I slow down, no need to feel rushed
As a strange feeling washes over me, and I am hushed
And then it is black, black again
Am I in hell, or in heaven?
I really don’t know, so now my dear
I apologize, but I am no longer here
And I’m going away, yet I’ll never leave
And I say goodbye as you grieve
But time has left me
And I hope you agree
That it’s time, as you sit there and cry
For me to finally say…Goodbye
“My love…” I whisper, my voice slurred
Tears roll down my bloody face
And I can imagine you as you pace
Seeing you is my dying wish
I hate the fact that I’m so selfish
To want to bring you here, my face all wrong
Just to tell you I’ve loved you all along
And as the pain gets even stronger
I can’t hold it any longer
I let out a scream, my face contorted
My imminent death cannot be thwarted
And now my body becomes inert
Who knew dying caused so much hurt
Then the sun is gone, blocked out by dark
As I walk in a barren place, it’s so stark
Then I see a tunnel, the color bright white
And my conscience says “Stay away from the light”
But I just can’t help it, I jump into the hole
And then I’m swallowed up, getting out is suddenly my goal
Then I slow down, no need to feel rushed
As a strange feeling washes over me, and I am hushed
And then it is black, black again
Am I in hell, or in heaven?
I really don’t know, so now my dear
I apologize, but I am no longer here
And I’m going away, yet I’ll never leave
And I say goodbye as you grieve
But time has left me
And I hope you agree
That it’s time, as you sit there and cry
For me to finally say…Goodbye
