When Breath Escapes

Now life has ended

Played all the cards that have been handed

And now eternity has a whole new meaning

With its no end and no beginning

A heart comes to its last ticking

Its blood feels like its thickening

And its mind can抰 stop thinking

When life flashes before it, will it like what it sees

Or will it wish to have done other things

And the regret will only add more to the flame抯 pain

As breath escapes, the heart beats slower

Soon, the nightmare will be over, or will it just begin?

As once again eternity sinks in

Life抯 last strength grips the deathbed below then digs itself in

I guess the understanding of life after death

Comes with the absence of breath
