A boy’s last kiss to show he is still there A man’s last drink to swallow his dreams and fear A boy’s smile on an ever-growing face A man’s ill-content grumble and a fermented taste A door swung open A rattle of car keys Two engines starting A boy’s last words to show affection A man’s last gulp and right foot leaned forward A boy’s lost look of fear A man’s lost care A boy’s hospital high above A man’s tombstone not to move A boy’s slow breath A man’s death A boy’s subconscious awakening A man’s lack of movement A boy’s sight of raining tears The wet mud A boy’s jump for freedom The movement of decomposition A boy’s car, new again The years The choice of revenge, or acceptance The broken bottle The first breath after coma No breath after death

First Breath After Coma
A boy’s last kiss to show he is still there A man’s last drink to swallow his dreams and fear A boy’s smile on an ever-growing face A man’s ill-content grumble and a fermented taste A door swung open A rattle of car keys Two engines starting A boy’s last words to show affection A man’s last gulp and right foot leaned forward A boy’s lost look of fear A man’s lost care A boy’s hospital high above A man’s tombstone not to move A boy’s slow breath A man’s death A boy’s subconscious awakening A man’s lack of movement A boy’s sight of raining tears The wet mud A boy’s jump for freedom The movement of decomposition A boy’s car, new again The years The choice of revenge, or acceptance The broken bottle The first breath after coma No breath after death
