THE LAST REQUEST

 In a world so cold and cruel

You brought me warmth and love

You were a teacher to me and I

Was student who could not learn

I was loving for the very first time

And the love you gave I was unready for

I was a heartless person who possessed

A body that had no soul

Living in the fast-paced society, I only

Tried to keep up like an amateur

Racer in the Indy five hundred

I was just another sinful person

With a story that interested nobody

My love shall remain forever yours

Though I know that like the misty fog of

Your breath in the cool winter air

It shall be hardly noticed nor wanted

Only I could hurt the one that I love so severe

That the tears from her eyes would be as thick

As the blood from a wound to the heart

I wonder how one could be so weak in spirit

To fall so easily to temptation

It makes a person feel hard and empty inside

Like a hollowed-out shell of a dead turtle

It doesn’t seem possible to love so willingly

That you could drown in the illusion

As I look beyond all that I have done wrong

And should i die before i hear you say it

I only hope you come to realize my affections

And surpass any doubts of the love I had for you
