Last Night
It is already dark, for the earth and for me -
Night has fallen, and little can I see.
But I feel you by me, tears in your eye;
Now just forget it all and look up at the sky.
Look at those stars, don't they seem to call
Me, to their abode, with nightfall?
Now don't cry and let me go;
I forgive you, you're no longer my foe.
I am dying in comfort, I have no pain,
My death knell is ringing, I can hear the strain.
I no longer feel, the sufferings I got,
For at the cost of your happiness, arrogance I bought.
And you betrayed, you did what was right;
I needed a lesson -"The Lesson of Life".
Now don't think of what, fate did to my life,
Leave me and go, set your destiny right.
And as I ebb, with the light breeze,
I won't curse you, for I am in peace.
Now let me close my eyes and make my way,
To the doors of peace, where forever I may stay.
