An Old Woman's Words

Burning dim as an ember

In this month of November

The things I want to remember

Are just out of my reach


As I lay here in this bed

Thoughts keep running through my head

And though I know I'll soon be dead

There's things I need to teach


My skin is old, my heart older

Years went by, I turned colder

Now, looking over my shoulder

I see what I have missed


Your velvet hair, ocean eyes

Has helped me to realize

That there is something in the skies

That will cure life's fatal twist


So listen now, listen fast

For it's not long I will last

Just please do not dwell on your past

Goodbye. Flatline.
