I once had a dream for the past
a dream I thought would always last
but I was wrong it never remained
shadows of the present that I sustained
tomorrow falls and today is gone
as the sun forgets the morning dawn
maybe there will never be
a light at the end for you and me
tomorrow comes and next week begins
with a pocketfull of death and sins
faded glimpses of what I can do
takes me back to times with you
and never do I fail to touch
the fact that I still miss you much
and the sun sets and rises each passing day
with more and more that I want to say
yet my voice is gone from little things
I thought important to keep from rings
yet never will I hold your hand
as I stand alone on foreign land
with thoughts of you inside my head
and my secret wish to soon be dead
so kiss me once for memories of love
and twice for dreams from God above
three times for life I never knew
four for the love I have with you
and once more to let me know my soul
and two times more to know I'm whole
as the sun sets upon my being
remember what I was forseeing

Ah I had the same dream once

You don't have a choice to die but you do have a choice how you meet it.

Intensely personal and painful read.  I relate.

I don't know how I'd missed this. Excellent poem, I too can relate...
