The Last Words
The Last Words "Sorry, sorry, sorry..." You said, The remaining coherence As you struggled on your bed It didn't right away sink in my head, Absolute courage was my preference Not knowing your own preference Glowing away in your exhausted eyes, You didn't have to apologize... But did you expect me to let go? Nothingness. Emptiness. Silence. All rolled together—pain and sorrow, A thread was cut to...

Last Words
What did the wind feel like-- Blowing against your back Riddled with whispers You heard or imagined or both? Was it cold, The ground? Did it scrape your knees on the way down? Or could you even notice through the noise? I want to know Was it hard to live in a world that wanted you dead? Is that why you couldn’t do it? Tell me, please I need...

The Last Words of the Seeker in Sheol
(A tired voice whispers) I think I was put under love's enchanted spell When I first met that wondrous heart That to me Quietly yelled For I've walked so many hard miles in this black sand and yellow sea Acid rain and pale snow As far as my tired eyes could see Wandered to low places Where the Good Don't go Seen...

Echoes of last words
Last things you whispered, a promise under stars, “You're the only one I’ll love, no one else from afar.” Silly me, I believed, wrapped in dreams made of gold, Yet soon you found another, leaving my heart cold. Was she there to fill the void, to quiet your lonely nights? Or was it just the shadows, seeking warmth in borrowed...

My last words for my cat
My cat is so beautiful, So saintly it appears, Yet selfishness reached her bones Sacrifices are made, And she doesn't realize, And sweat lost means nothing, to her Greed replaced her heart, And her hypocrisy is a natural gift, And I'm torn as she set her back away I'm running out of time my cat, And parting...

Any Last Words
I understand; I was wrong. I know I hurt you all along. I don't understand why you had to leave. But it's fine if you choose to forget me. Yet all I wanted was a simple closure. Between us is not the end. So don't leave me tortured. Don't leave me tortured... Any last words from you? I want to hear things straight from...

We note the first words infants say and the words of those on death’s way. Parting words seem to hold much weight as we watch souls approach death’s gate. The words Jesus said as he died, mean much to the tempted and tried. His way of life and what he taught helps them to live life as they ought. “Father, forgive them”...

Writing the final chapter… the bells in the tower ring for me Once for each phrase unwritten twice for each grievance atoned —as— “Schoolchildren rise pulling back the covers on the flowering meadow Singing my words blessing the fields as they run “Memory half gone released into the cradle of times rebirth Taking what I gave and leaving what I could not forgive “The reasons, the...

Epitaph
I understood perfectly what you meant about all the colors between black and gray and it is true that the hours have more minutes than they say so I will always be silent in the line of the discontented and condemned because this is a silent job to be averse to the course of the...

Last Words
My memory has been tainted My mindset had been erased My thoughts laced in worries A lost expression painted my face A place with no mirth A place with a little injunction A place brooded over past conversations The sentences corrupted and caused dysfunction The ghastly events raced through my head The past plummeted through all my understanding The idea of joy is mocked I find...

Last words come before last breath unexpected Expressions of regret, a heartfelt goodbye, Sincere apology on lips detected Words uttered in pain, a horrifying cry. Sudden thoughts upon which one has reflected Not giving thought, a most intentional lie, It behooves us to watch every word we say For the last word uttered may see us away. April 24, 2021...

Scrolling, not listening ; You think that’s supportive?! You think you’re the bomb? Weak ass detonation Famous last words; You call yourself an artist?! Pretending to pay attention coming with anything but original; Maybe that’s why you aren’t interested; Weak ass contribution Famous last words; You expect to get respect ?! Criticizing someone’s work when you’re as bland as vanilla One trick pony, you’ll...
