the .gift. of death (last wishes)

By denver nitze

i didn't mean to hurt you,
i really didn't want you to care
i wish that you could see now
that death is my precious .gift. to wear

it is this life that was a challenge
this life that threw the stones
holds us in its bondage
left us lost and alone

in death we can be free now
in death we're love indescribed
in death i'll find my solace
in death i'll find my .pride.

i promise to leave you softly
i promise that i won't let it hurt

i'm not afraid to face it


!!!i'm not afraid!!!

?you hear?


i'll be ok regardless
and i'll .never. leave your side

please know i always loved you
and that i always will
this isn't something bad now
because my pain will .lift.

i'll dance upon the clouds now
swim oceans with endless breathe
climb the highest mountain peaks
soar off the highest cliffs

many things to do now
and many things to say
as i don't have much time left
the pain is slowly fading
i'm feeling better
.everyday.

the closer comes the reaper
peace becomes my soul
thank you for our time here
i'm sorry i couldn't grow old

(but please just always remember
you're the keeper of half my soul
and i'll never .ever. let you go)

this world was just a stepping stone
to the love we will .again. once hold
so now my eyes are closing
i beg you not to cry
please just remember
.always.



...i loved you

as

i

died...
