Look Into My Eyes

Look into my eyes and you see death

Hear my gasp as I take a breath 

Sicken by my illness for a long while

Ive lost my hair but not my loe smile

See my body all weak and thin

But know my spirit will live on win

Hear my cries of pain hang in the air

Look into my eyes and see my death stare

When I die and exhale final from my chest

Know you are well and truy blessed

Remember me in the shadows of the past

Love each day to the fullest as if it were your last

Ive escaped the disease and now I fly

Look into my eyes and tell me goodbye
