I wished to stay.
I didn’t want to die
And go far away.
I had a life to live!
‘Twas not yet done.
I wanted the breath of life
From the newborn sun.
And so, when my head was gone,
I became a ghost.
It wasn’t but a feeble way
To imitate me most.
I still can think.
I still can sigh.
I still can talk.
I cannot die.
Doomed to wander
The halls of the earth.
Lost to everything,
Love, life and mirth.
Even when my friends are gone,
I have to stay.
I would have rather died,
And gone far away,
Than stay on the earth
Condemned as a ghost,
Never to meet
Thee, heavenly host.
Never to love again.
Never to cry.
Never to live my life.
Never to die.
I was afraid of death.
I wished to stay.
I didn’t want to die
And go far away.
But now that I have lived my life,
I wish to go,
And stay forever free from strife,
But the answer’s no.
I will ne'er go to heaven.
I will never die.
I will never lay to rest,
And sigh that final sigh.
Please review! Please?!
