My Last 24

In my first twenty-four
I still want more
Is it so hard to understand?
My life has not reached its end
I have a long time to stay
Come what may
As years go past
You think I would last
Life still goes on
Like a simple circle
Around and around the wheels go
The pendulum rocks to and fro
Time will still go on without me
You must learn to live without me
We had fun like always
You and I
I just wish that this would last forever
So we could always be together
But we know too well
That we are still living in hell
So let our bodies fit
Like the right puzzle pieces in a kit
The suns run over the sky
The moons blinding the fear
The fear of leaving
The leaving of you
The you of my life
My life that is just ending
But do we know it?
No
We are just too blind to see
The truth that is covered by me
Now we must come to a close
We are too tired to stay like most
But please don’t leave
It will be too hard to believe
Will you hold my hand in these white covers where I lay?
When I wake, will you stay?
As I close my eyes and say goodnight
My grip loosens and I loose my might
I am gone from you
From others too
People still talk
Those rude words which were edged into my skin
The jagged lines you never knew
I’m sorry you had to find out that way
After everything, never a fray
The beeping dies cold
As I fold
Do they still mock me?
Did they turn on you?
Don’t fall like me
I wanted to be free
But I never wanted you to follow
What drug have I poisoned you with?
The screams are silenced
The voices are no more
Our last day will be one to remember
With us it will be there like December
Though cold, our hearts keep us warm
Sheltering us from more harm
It was our last twenty-four
And as we intertwine our hands
This moment will last forever
Just you and me, in our own little darkness
