Last Call
As I laid motionless in this bed,
To my Heart I submit and in my past I pondered,
With every sweetness I have taste, every bitterness I assimilate,
Stumbling down into slumber, ready for my number.
I am but a man with only memories I have procured.
Always waiting for an old friend that I have missed all my life,
For all the broken bones and pain I have endured,
For all the happiness and bliss, I am grateful to have thrived.
A friend I taunt at times in my youthful actions,
A friend I kept in mind after all my juvenile sentiments.
It has walked behind me for as long as I can recall,
A friend to the lonely and bountiful. A friend to all.
At last, before my smile, My friend stands tall,
I will go without delay. Without any brawl.
Closed my eyes and pictured a last thought. In love, I fall.
Taking my last breath. Death announcing my last call.
