Last wish

Perhaps, I spoke too soon.

All my requests about death

Exploded, like a thin balloon,

Forgetting to enjoy each breath –

I wanted it to stop. The breathing,

I thought, I’ve had enough to live.

Somehow, death was only teasing

It can take life, but cannot give.

Besides, I never wanted strangers

To talk about me and cry.

There are so many real dangers

In life, and that you can’t deny.

I wanted to become unknown

And disappear, turn to smoke.

So no one would see the show,

But.. life prepared cruel joke

And now you’re gone instead.

I can’t believe this is the end.

How did it happen – you’re dead,

And I still have some time to spend?

You didn’t tell me your last wish,

So now I will never know.

I’m glad you had some time with me,

And we will catch another show.
