The Eulogy 1994 to The End

I am here for a short time 
Sadly luckily my time has come. 
I am not sick or anything. 
But death is close to me all at once and suddenly. 
I felt his breath all around me
I fear I am dead; I gave up on me. 
None of you  really did believe in me
You see, we are gods; once that ceased 
I did not exist
I am ashamed of dying and leaving you alone 
I am ashamed but tired death is sitting at the throne 
I am okay I am  thankful 
I tried and failed
I am certain I tried I did my best
But darkness is here
There is no light at the end 
My body was nothing 
I abused it to the end
I believed in happiness 
I never met her; I am dead  
I never lived here, but I wrote some poems. 
It was such a short time
I longed for love. 
Some people loved me. 
But myself I wasn't in love. 
I struggled and grappled. 
For life after death
I died a long time  
There is nothing to cry. 
I died a long time ago; there is nothing to try.
