Only One End

And as I leave home,

I think it’s over,

I’ve loosened strings

I’ve lost my cover

And as I let go

Of your hand in mine

I think it’s over

We’ve stopped time

And as I turn this last page

And linger over last words

I feel the emptiness

Moving backwards

And as I hear these last words

And see your eyes close forever

I have you only in mind

With a lowering fever

And as I walk away

And you do too,

I wonder when I’ll walk back

And what I’ll do

And as I think everything is final

And as I want this road to bend

As I wish for some more

Death comes as the end.
