the last gift that i can give (the goodbye )

By shannontegan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

my mind is clouded my senses weaken others are speaking in close proximity and what on earth can the matter be they lower their voices stand with their heads bowed unaware that i stare with unseeing eyes it is unwise to assume the reason for my pain i have nothing to gain but more pain please dear friends make amends and when you speak of me understnd my situation accept my gratification of peace of sleep sleep is so sweet so soothing so complete a rest it is best that i part with a happy soul donated to another let him or her have my a life with the help of a surgeons knife please let that person be enhanced with a second chanceto live i give only the part that i know i no longer need take heed stranger no danger ahead this is the end for me the beginning for you i know what i have to do ; my last gift will come unwrapped bared for all to see but my soul remains forever in eternity, no i can leave in a while i know that my last breath forms a smile Written July 8th, 2001 © on Jul 08 2001 03:42 PM PST   0 • 10
