BORROWED TIMEA Poem by DarkPoet
Lying on the soft bed
Reminiscing on words that weren't' Said Like 'you are loved' 'I'm glad you are here' I'm sorry,please,and thank you for being there Fighting for life with all your might Knowing this may be your last night Pleading for the forgiveness of your sin So with the angels you will also sing Living on borrowed time Reminded every time the clock chimes For me ,say a little prayer Hoping to be remembered when I'm gone Later Watching the clock ticking away Still wishing for another day Though the body is pervaded by pain Realizing that a self- centred life is vain Wishing to see the ones by you wronged Knowing your exit will not be too long Putting up a convincing Facade Crying silently because you are so sad Wondering how time went by Now that your exit is near Awed by the fact that mortals must die And after,before the immortal creation they must appear Living on borrowed time Reminded every time the clock chimes For me ,say a little prayer Hoping to be remembered when I'm gone Later Remembering those little things taken for Granted Like the pleasant scent of rain The beauty of the water lilies that has one enchanted The view of the earth from an elevated plane On a proposal getting a definite yes not no or maybe The first cry of a first new born baby Wishing there was no death To have one buried under a pile of dirt Living on borrowed time Reminded every time the clock chimes For me ,say a little prayer Hoping to be remembered when I'm gone Later So make the best living Cause we know not when exactly we are dying To and for everyone do good So it will be said that we did all we could © 2019 DarkPoet |
