Fighting the good fight
or even the questionable fight
Seems we’ll never be able to let it go
I am so afraid of not knowing
The last moment that I have
Leaving you and leaving me
I know that we can only wish
To leave something greater
Really that’s all we ever want
To be more than the sum of our parts
I’d be happy with some of my parts
but not all
Every moment is just a moment
That we hope will not be our last
Have I failed the Reader
Like I have failed a poem?
Still I write and continue this pursuit
While pursued
Still, let me write my swan song
if I know that it is coming
should we look at life like
the last chance to do anything?
the last chance to be anything?
the last chance to say anything?
the last reason to do anything?
the last reason to be anything?
the last reason to say anything?
