How can I bear it any longer?

A life wasted, buried in selfish regret

Tired of living for that which will pass away

The end of the road I tread is death and ashes

All I will be is a memory

A bitter one at that

You laid down your life so I can finally have it

That I would not waste

Another of these precious moments

On this frail and fleeting self

Unearth my suffocated will

Let me choose the path for which this life was made
