As the days to my death
Draw nearer
I loosen up, accepting all
That comes my way
It doesn't faze me it just
Opens my eyes to see how far
Gone the world truly is
With each candle the breath
Of my mouth puts out
I inhale the smoke and smile
It's just another day filled
With joy and excitement
Who am I to not enjoy it?
I felt no excitement, pity
Or even sadness
I felt oddly satisfied that
One day not too far
In the future
I'd draw my last breath
And just like a little blip
In the world's existence
I'd be gone
And the world will honor
Me with surface pity.

I wrote you letters
And in those letters I poured my heart out
Sealed them
And burnt them.
Such feelings should not be stirred by anyone.

No matter how far gone we are there's a part of us we'd never forget.
