Epitaph

I've got my epitaph prepared "Time will tell" it declared And as the moon gazed over me She saw my eyes, dull and bared With my pockets full of roses We'll see how I decompose And in my defeat and hope There's serenity in my throes A familiar shadow cradled my head And said "be careful of where you tread" My hands were reaching out in vain As if the stars knew how I had bled With my pockets full of roses We'll see how I decompose And in my defeat and hope There's serenity in my throes I'm not searching for accolades I just wish you would have explained But with pain comes rebirth Rid of all that is decayed With my pockets full of roses We'll see how I decompose And in my defeat and hope There's serenity in my throes With my pockets full of roses We'll see how I decompose And in my defeat and hope There's serenity in my throes
