Sometime someway my life came to an end
Im sure I went out with a whimper not a bang
Im sure I'll be forgotten by quarter past nine
You see I've left this brief note to speak clear
From beyond the veil of things that will be forgot
That i was once a lover of life a hoper a dreamer
That 'Cynic' is what i became NOT what i was born
Between here and there past and future I changed
I had a heart that could have loved but I gave it
A soul that could have soared but you crushed it
I could have been happy or content with little
But 'Happy', 'Content' and 'Love' were denied me
I would have kissed each new day
I would have bade the darkness 'Go Away'
Now it is to late for I am already gone

To Whom it may concern
I ask that remember
But perhaps Im already forgotten

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I doubt that you'll be forgotten, w/ words like that.

I bleed, you all read, and may the blood never stop spilling for loss of emotion would be all too damning.
