Never thought it would come to this,
But knew it would nonetheless,
The inevitable and the undeniable,
My own death, fully realized,
Large and looming it has finally come,
Smothering my every paintstaking breath,
I have struggled for each and everyone,
My mind tells my body, no more,
I am hollow now, though my heart beats still,
I am cold and nothing can ever warm me now,
Tears come and flow, drowning all memories,
Soaking through, all bittersweet and yet,
I linger here, my ghost forever haunting,
Futilely attempting to grasp,
But seeing it all slip away ....
