Before I Die

Before I die, let me weep the rain,

Feel the echoes of a heart in pain.

Before the shadows my existence claim,

Let sorrow's melody sing my name.

 

Before the dusk descends, cold and gray,

Let me mourn the love that couldn't stay.

Before the sun fades, stealing the day,

Let tears cascade in a somber display.

 

Before I go, let the darkness know,

The weight of regrets, in the afterglow.

Before the whispers of time echo,

Let me confront the grief that I stow.

 

Before the final chapter's ink is dry,

Let my soul mourn, let it sigh.

Before I bid this world goodbye,

Let me embrace the sadness, let it lie.
