Last Words
Last words come before last breath unexpected
Expressions of regret, a heartfelt goodbye,
Sincere apology on lips detected
Words uttered in pain, a horrifying cry.
Sudden thoughts upon which one has reflected
Not giving thought, a most intentional lie,
It behooves us to watch every word we say
For the last word uttered may see us away.
