Life's a Bitch

Don’t be surprised if you wake up and I’m gone, Still lying next to you but no longer there Body limp, lifeless with a fleeting warmth A look of peace upon my face. My life has been a waste, an emptiness I could not fill Failures that lasted too long, and love that could not be returned Private moments that stayed in the dark Haunting me until my last dying breath To those that cared, worry not for when I am gone Life will continue, my legacies to carry on My last wish being that I am forgotten Forgive me not for my sins I have fought with. Those looking for answers Be not despondent, for I was never for here A waste of being, better left rotten Forget, forgive, or be left wanting.
