I ne'er would wish upon a soul this curse, That tarried not to take me to the brink Of contemplating ambulance or hearse, And thence to rob me of the will to think ~~ My body broken, sprawled atop a bed, Where medics paused to gander and go by, A curio, a prize of ornate lead, An empty husk, yet still a knowing eye ~~ And thence, the irony, a crueller fate Befell another I should never meet, For them, redemption mayhap came too late, For me, no time was ever so replete ~~ My life is owed eternally to thee, Thy life lives on eternally in me ~~

A Blessed Curse
I ne'er would wish upon a soul this curse, That tarried not to take me to the brink Of contemplating ambulance or hearse, And thence to rob me of the will to think ~~ My body broken, sprawled atop a bed, Where medics paused to gander and go by, A curio, a prize of ornate lead, An empty husk, yet still a knowing eye ~~ And thence, the irony, a crueller fate Befell another I should never meet, For them, redemption mayhap came too late, For me, no time was ever so replete ~~ My life is owed eternally to thee, Thy life lives on eternally in me ~~
