Who am I?
Who am I just laying here, all alone, it's only me,
Its so warm and dark, I cannot see.
Yet things close to me I hear,
Like that beating sound now by my ear,
I stretch and reach but, cannot feel,
That nearby pounding that is so real.
It seems so close but, I have no fear,
I feel safe, so it gives me cheer.
Wait, is that a light I see,
I feel something touching me.
It pulls and tugs at me so,
I think it must be time for me to go.
Now it's got me by the head,
Its crushed my skull this thing I dread.
To late to save me,
Now I am dead.
Why, I will never know,
Who was I, You cannot know,
You did not care.You let me go.
