Life or Death?

By Syn

When you've lived your life
Will you look back at me?
Will you cherish all we've shared?
Or will you die willfully?

Am I something that you want?
Or simply something that you need...?
Am I your burning desired,
or am I your haunted dreams?

I guess you take what you can get
when there's nothing there
I guess it's not so hard to live
when your soul's stripped bare

    God, I love your works!! That first stanza is so remorseful in its questioning. You are an inspiration. -Michael
