Gentle Departure

As my heart begins to beat slowly 

Take me to the highest rooftop in town

Lay me down to say my farewell to the sunset

Consuming my flesh as the world around continues 

My heartbeat comes to a finale 

Though I won’t forget the whispers of the ocean or the howls at the moon

Memories will fade and life goes on, except mine 

For all I will have is a piece of what used to be

As the sky gently utters my name one last time 

Please don’t weep for me, rather rejoice 

For I no longer have to bare this pain 

You too will be free of this cycle of hurt one day
