Last Bow

My hand disappears

Before my eyes

But I have no tears

Or surprise

I'm trying to leave

This dreadful place

I took too long to bleed

Too late to heal my race

There's no more reason

For me to stay

Nothing to linger on

I'm wasting away

Time means nothing

It just goes on

No point in running

Nothing to run upon

No chance to quit

Gotta keep going

All I can do is end it

And I go on knowing

My feet turn cold

My legs are numb

I could've told

But I told no one

One last breath

I close my eyes

Welcome in death

No goodbyes

I can't turn back

I've gone too far

It's too late for that

Didn't want to be here anymore

I see my mistake

I squeeze out a scream

My life I did take

It was foolish and mean

I had reason to live

But I didn't see it then

I had more to give

But I didn't know when

As I watch with grief

They lower my body

I had no belief

They all would miss me

I see it now

But it's too late

I took my last bow

Don't make the same mistake
