I fall in love on a lonely day
When my motion is high on a race
When my heart is dried of life & a taste
Not just when am a friend to the grave
...
If I die without a heir;
History will be mad at me
For choosing the path so brief
Life would be unfair to me
...
When I have nobody but me
I 'd rather be real
Instead of being hopeless and still
Begging for alms I won't be fit
...
I stopped for death
When she could not come to me
Begging she pronounce my name
Squeeze and ravage my entire home
...
What will I be remembered for?
Looking at life and the end of age
After sleep refuse wake
Will heaven and earth exchange a hand shake?
