Accursed sickness
Wasting my body away
Encased in decay
Terminal
Begging for the end
For my spirit to be freed
Please stay by my side
I know it hurts to see me this way
Please take my hand
Reassure me that my peace draws near
Will you remember me?
Not as I am
But that which I once was
Will you recall the vibrance
I held in my prime?
When you recall my face
Will it be full of laughter?
Promise you won’t forget
The vibrance of my life
A pale,
waxen, morbid shell
A hideous shade of myself
My greatest fear
Is this deathly state
Becomes your memory of me
Please calm my fears
Soothe me with tales of better days
So I may drift into the night
A memory of when I felt alive
Will you remember me?
Not as I am
But that which I once was
Will you recall the vibrance
I held in my prime?
When you recall my face
Will it be full of laughter?
Promise you won’t forget
The vibrance of my life.
