Forgotten

My body aches

I'm out of breath

Lying here

So close to death



My friends around

Begin to weep

As I fall deeper

Into sleep



From this sleep

I won't awake

Then they'll come

My life they'll take



Away I'll go

Away from here

With all my friends

And family near



Where I'll go

I do not know

But will I be forgotten?



In the hearts of all

Who see me dying now

Will they remember the pain they feel

Twenty years from now?



Will they remember me

As I used to be

Through their sorrow and their pain

Will I still be the same?



When I'm gone

What will they say?

The day of my death

just another day?



Will they care

me lying there

Do they even know



The pain I feel

That just won't heal

Won't ever go away



Today is just another day

The day I was forgotten
