Breathe in. Breathe out.
The last pieces of air,
I will take from this world.
Shivers of coldness.
Falling into darkness.
Surrounded by death.

What once was young,
Now is old.
What once was warm,
Now is cold.
What once was sweet,
Now is sour.
What once was early,
Now past it’s hour.

We are born to live,
To love and to die.
I’ve passed life and love.
So here forever I will lie.

A cold empty box,
Where my body lays.
But somewhere in Heaven,
My soul stays.

Tears are shed.
My life is dead.
But do not give in,
To the sorrow within.
For water will never,
Return me to you.
