fauxcroft

I had a sudden thought

Caught up in a moment,

It broke my heart

As my stomach started to knot,

A tear trickled from my eye

At this latter enof of life,

That I would one day go to sleep

And never again open my eyes,

I felt a sense of hysteria

And fought to quell it down,

What about my kids I thought

And all the cheerful sounds,

How am I supposed to handle this

And my kids who I will miss,

Even within my eternal death

Forgetting the memories I will resist.
