If I don’t see a tomorrow
Tell me now.
–
If daybreak’s golden gleam doesn’t meet my
Mossy green-
Eyes
Tell me now.
Please
–
I’d write it in my will
But you know the drill
–
I’d already be well acquainted
With these
Bugs and beetles
Seven feet beneath
You very feet
–
You see,
I can’t see the tears in your eyes during that elegy
Lifetime apology
Sure you’re sorry
But-
I wish you’d tell me now
–
Underground
Heaven-bound
I can’t reach your hand and hold it
Grab my-
Shabby, back alley
Sewing kit
And stitch up the heart
You tore apart
All for me
–
Sunrises aren’t the same
You’d say
Then join the line and pray
Send me,
Far, far away
–
Tell me now
So I can reply
Like every angel needs its wings to fly
Every sunrise has its sunset
Every life its-
Regret
–
While living I may have wished
For the success I –
Almost kissed
The chances I –
May have missed
–
But my only request
Tell me now
Before I am forever,
At rest
