these are the last words
that i'll ever write
the very last poem
to come cross my mind
the last line of rhythm
the end of the rhyme
puddle of ink
to spill out in time

these are the last words
that i have to say
the very last that
i'll put down on page
i've given enough
of my soul away
what little is left
i'm trying to save

these are the last words
i'm holding out hope
the last string of lines
that i'm letting go
the last of this deal
as far as i know
the very last words
the very last poem
