My Death

Once I am gone 
And smile faded away by sadness, tears may fall 
But it won’t take so long to be forgotten by beloved 
As I forget people who died so long 
And now I am one of them, forgotten, abandoned even by my own shadow 
 Alone as I was born with bare hands holding nothing, having nothing 
It will be just me, and all what I gathered will be useless
only my deeds my follow me to the unreturned word
Where no mind could imagine 
And death remain as the unsolved mystery of humanity
