How to Die
Water, in a glass, in a river,
Fire, on a match, on my hand,
Wind, in the trees, in my lungs,
Earth, underneath me, I'm underneath it,
Going under, drowning,
Being consumed, burning,
Blown away, sufficating,
Falling down, burried alive,
Seeing the light go away,
Seeing nothing but the light,
Seeing your face as my last memory,
Seeing your face as you bury me,
My last movement, no one can feel,
My last cry, everyone just looks,
My last sound, no one but you laughs,
My last hope, no one but you can crush it,
I'm now dead and gone,
I'm now lost in the wind,
No one knows my voice any longer,
No where do I remain...
