Until The Last Thing I Do

i'm sitting dying
all alone and blue
if i didn't have thoughts
don't know what i would do.

l am here by myself
with me and me alone
the only thing that i have
the only thing i own.

my skin and heart and blood
the sweat, upon my brow
my brain, that keeps working
is, the only here and now!

the feelings, i think i have
are, just a state of mind
if i just looked beyond them
i wonder what, i'd find?

found out today, a friend had died
(though, he may not, think so)
i really felt, a neat kinship
to, this man i barely know.

but, that's another story
writing words about me
about the way that i am
and, whomever, i might be.

i won't know. until i die
and, neither will you
for we aren't all we are
until, the last thing, we do.
