My Last Wish
How can one say I love you when it is not there /
I baptize the sky and say a prayer.
Once I open up my eyes no one is here/
All my life I have been abandoned and now I have no fear.
I am really not feeling this place/
I do not want to crowd your space.
Ideas and thoughts flow insincere in my mind/
While you are out all I do is look up at the time.
To sum it all up on one try/
All you can say is that “are you telling me another lie”.
This time I speak only of the truth/
If not an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
What we had and what was meant to be are great/
We all are humans and that was one of our most crucial mistake.
When I depart this life and you arrive to my awake/
Do not shed a tear and tell my kids they were never a mistake.
