Accursed sickness

Wasting my body away

Encased in decay

Terminal

Begging for the end

For my spirit to be freed

Please stay by my side

I know it hurts to see me this way

Please take my hand

Reassure me that my peace draws near

Will you remember me?

Not as I am

But that which I once was

Will you recall the vibrance

I held in my prime?

When you recall my face

Will it be full of laughter?

Promise you won't forget

The vibrance of my life

A pale,

waxen, morbid shell

A hideous shade of myself

My greatest fear

Is this deathly state

Becomes your memory of me

Please calm my fears

Soothe me with tales of better days

So I may drift into the night

A memory of when I felt alive

Will you remember me?

Not as I am

But that which I once was

Will you recall the vibrance

I held in my prime?

When you recall my face

Will it be full of laughter?

Promise you won't forget

The vibrance of my life.
