I’m holding on
For dear life
My eyes are closed
I can hear your voice
Talk to me
About the simple things
They mean the most
Hear the birds sing
I’m not afraid
I’m comfortably numb
My heart is strong
I’m not ready to succumb
You brush my hand
You kiss my cheek
I’m Marcus Aurelius
Before the long sleep
My memory escapes
Although I am still me
We are all stardust
I’m ready to be free
I’m holding on
For dearest life
My eyes are closed
I can see the light
