Breathe

Breathe for me, dearest one... Before to long, i will be gone... I choose to leave, this world behind... Stand back, separate, no need to change my mind... This wasnt my intentions, as my days began... I wanted to rise above life, be the bigger man... But strength is needed, when you try to topple pain.. And i have no powers, and no more can i maintain... With no remorse, i leave you...to fight this world alone... And make this land a more beautiful place, once i am gone... Lay me in the grave, or spread my ashes in the sea... because is the last wish, for the broken fool known as me...
