Chapter Closes

Crying, sad, crying, heartbroken, crying, confused…
I saw me…
In a crowd of fifty…
I saw me…
Loss of a loved one,
The pain that follows,
A mist that covers happiness…
Crying the soul out…
For the soul has been ripped apart by cruel fate...
Fate called death….

Crying, sad, crying, heartbroken, crying, just crying…
I saw me…
Wading my way…
To get a final glimpse…
Of what is never to be seen again…
By human or otherwise…
To bid final goodbyes…
To say the final farewell…
Begging the soul to rest in eternal peace…
Peace that it sought through life…

Crying, sad, crying, heartbroken, crying, but happy…
I saw me…
Walking up to the corpse…
Smile on my face…
As all has been said and done…
One final request…
Please don’t cry…
Please don’t cry…
For life’s purpose has been served and its time…
Time to move on….

Crying, sad, crying, heartbroken, crying, crying…
I saw me…
I saw the light…
I moved on…
It seemed to be waiting…
Turned around…
One last look…
I saw me…
Dead, smiling, dead, happy….
I saw me…
The chapter closes…
