The final hours of my life
am I fighting to survive?
Am I seeing who I love?
Will I have peace at mind?
Sunrise is infinite
I'll watch it for hours
over the water
praying for rain showers
The Morning air stings
as I shuffle down the street
reflecting on my memories
staring at my feet
Midday sunshine
Burning my brown eyes
do I really want to be alone
on the day that I die?
The evening brings nostalgia
memories, my close friends
the tightest group around
friends until the end
The words hit me like bricks
"friends until the end"
it can't be time, it can't be right
I have to find my friends
I sprint down the street
being splashed with rain showers
I tackle a man, and steal his phone
I only have 5 hours
I meet them at a clubhouse
worn from years of play
I hug them all to death
and don't know what to say
Just before the stroke of midnight
all my friends are crying
sharing memories from before
I can't believe I'm dying.
I stand up and say
"Let it be known
life was worth the time it lasted
It's time for me to go."
My best friend hugs me
and I'm not alarmed
when she whispers in my ear
"You can die in my arms"
