Everything just fell apart
and everything just fell
away..
As bit by bit, I toiled away;
building my dream.
Heeding the call
of a higher purpose;
At first, it stuck.. to me
Then I stuck to it.
In the end,
it is all that remained.
And shall always..
Long after I’m gone
and the flesh has fallen
away from these bones
and these bones have turned
…to dust.
And I beseeched everyone
to forget.. me
as I forgot myself;
To not remember me,
as I didn’t anymore.
They will still;
Because my name
shall dissolve.
And long after i’m gone
only my purpose
shall remain.
Fulfilled;
Like a tombstone
atop a life
that once was.
