Famous Last Words
L.C. Colt
To be memorable,
Or to say your goodbyes
To call to a loved one,
Before you close your eyes
To curse those wrong,
Or to praise those right
You say these words,
Before entering the endless night
I find myself now here,
With you lying next to me
Peacefully, undisturbed,
In eternal sleep, for all to see
I speak now these words,
Words I once thought myself too cold for
Words to which you won't respond,
For you have slipped into silence forever more
I cry and weep,
Begging for the Lord to bring you life
Calling to you,
The one I once called my wife
The love we shared,
Now a distant memory
The passion between us,
Forever a secret of you and me
Once, I thought you asleep,
Stunned, to find you dead
But now, I'm unafraid,
With no words left to be said
With all tears shed, all words gone,
You said to me, as flies the birds
I shall always remember,
