It’s time

  
‘I wanted to say I’m sorry that I’m dying 

But no one would listen to me, 

they just kept crying’

‘I’m right here, look at me, can’t you see?

I’m trying to say something, can you hear me?’

‘I know it hurts, maybe you’re in more pain than I’m in too

But I can’t bare it now, 

all my nightmares are coming true’

‘If this is goodbye, let me say so

I love you, but this pain, I need to let go’

‘Then it hit me, No I can’t leave, please not yet,

Not while your eyes are still socking wet. 

But I’ve lost my way, I’m trapped in this maze, how do I return?

Then I turned, and 

saw myself lay there, so lifeless, 

the reaper telling me, it’s my turn’
