close your eyes and see life float
see strife sail away into
nothing close your mind and
touch no more the flower that
almost bloomed by the rays
of your thoughts. empty your
eyes and shut out the sky
forsake the moon that
could have saved you. take
one last breath and conquer
all fear of life, all hope of
bathing in childhood
salvation. take one last
sigh and forgive every
wrong done to you, forget
every depraved thought
ever entered into your
head. give away your
body, your soul, to a
power much greater
give away your life
to a lord who has
overlooked you once again,
to a star that tonight
didn’t shine.
