When I Died Last Night
*WHEN I DIED LAST NIGHT*
I never had it that smooth
That I had to get up bed so cool
Seem like my power-packed so full
Gazing in the sky so blue
The doors never again squeaked
And the gates opened so quickly
Seem it is s great day differently
With no reason to make me look back
Didn't even feel like I left anything behind
Crave to head straight into a fresh day
Feeling like nothing I lack
Nothing Seem to be alike
Shocked to see colours splitted in just black and white
The many colours were mere illusions
Created to twist the minds of the living
Words spoken are either facts or false
Actions I notice are either wrong or right
Answers are either yes or no
The roads are either right or left
Leading behind an eternal gate of alloys
The start of a no-end sojourn
Where my spirit stand to interrogate my soul
My judgement is like wave-bathed beach
I was probed in no time
Can't tell how long it last
Not in a land where the night goes on break
And the sun a gatekeeper
The celestial being asked for my last wish
And to tell me I died last night
So the last struggle was my last breath
For all the stories I never told
For all the lies I ever told
For all the truth I never spoke
For all the hands I failed to hold
For all the time I missed the road
For all the hearts I ever broke
For all the feelings untold
For the good in me I never showed
For all the stones I branded gold
Believe me,... I'm so sorry
For the loving father I never be
For the caring husband I failed to be
A better lover I promised to be
For the son I never lived to be
For the unbroken I broke
For the broken I rebroke
The vulnerable I lead astray
For the joy I unplugged
For the tears I held back when I try to be hard
And for the tears I make you all shed
Believe me, ... I'm so sorry
Mama cry no more
Your eyes are swollen already
Father's heart is bleeding
I can see him hold his ribs ripping out in pairs
Tell my siblings I love them
But I took the early exit door
Thought I'd hug you one more time
To my ever loving friends
I'm shocked it ended this early
To the ones we share no bond
I thought we would have a time to mend
But the axeman caught me unawares
Believe me,.... I'm so sorry
Live for me the life I failed to live
Pay for me the debt I owe
Be the father to the one I rejected
An uncle to the one I was denied
Finish my struggle and win my fight
I was my hope I live to fight another day
That was before I knew I died last night
