Requiem

My body lay there
in my casket
of polished dark wood
lined with white satin

My soul watches
They cry
I have no tears to shed
for i am spirit now
and glad i'm dead

Those who never cared
Will not miss me
Those who did
to them
My soul whispers "farewell"

They lament my death
And I hear it as my requiem
As they lay roses of fine crimson
the only life now
Life left to dwindle in my grave.
