A LIVING MANS WISH

28 6 3
                                    

Like a pounding pestle
My heart beats in bits
Seems it's seeking
A way out
Of my weak broken body
Then, just in time
Every memorable moment
Flushes fast
Into my big brain;
The moments I really lived

For a split second
A slight smile
Lights up my face
Making me think
I really have no regrets
But this is just a phase
Of a wobbly wave
About to hit me hard
Returning me to reality

Just then, I remember
The things I didn't do
The promises I made
But broke
The voices
Of all the people
I feebly failed
If only I had tried harder!

I wish
I could turn back time
To my moments of failure
For a chance
To do things differently
To fix my mistakes for once
But, it's just a wish...
Nothing more

Please promise me,
If I ever feel these
Tell me am dying!
