The End

As I lay dying everything becomes so clear All the reasons for why I'm here The regrets 
pour over me as I tell my mother goodbye I'm so sorry for hurting you please do not cry
Don't remember me this way Remember my smile the softness in my voice the gentleness
in my touch just know I loved you very much I see the hurt as it begins to darken what was
a light in my mother's eyes the black begins to embody her soul as she starts to cry I feel so
angry inside for the damage I've left behind like a wrecking ball all the good had died And 
now I lay here in wait for the inevitable demise I say a prayer as I slowly close my eyes...
