Will you cry if I die

Will you cry if I die?
die I must, more inevitable than I was born.

Born in night, I did cry,
cry, that was the sound of joy.

Joy of birth then, now the joy of death,
death will bring a closure to the miseries of life.

Life spent in survival, always striving to pay the bills,
Bills from now will be someone else's headache.

Headache I get reflecting on my past life,
life was full of thrill and agonizing moments.

Moments of love and affection I cherished,
cherished not, the death is lurking by my side.

Side by side, my love, we spent our life,
life with ambitions and lust has come to a close.

Close by you, when I die, you smile with tearful eyes,
eyes that I will adore, saying goodbye with heart full of love.

Agree with what Anne has commented below. However sad life be, saying goodbye is always painful. This is a difficult form where one has to start each line with the ending word of the previous line. But you have done it with so much ease.
