To Coda

Skin is colder.
I can barely stand.
Pain takes over.
I’ll wait no more.
This is the curtain call.
Oh, I know.
I know it’s right.
I know.
I know it’s time.
Memories flooding.
Faces I adore.
Body falling.
I’ll wait no more.
I’m clutching winged hands.
Say you’ll hold my memory.
Say you will not forget my name.
I felt forgotten in this cage.
I felt forsaken in this cage.
Say you’ll hold my memory.
So good-bye.
