Gone

It was just a body, no soul inside

I realized it was mine and thought I’d died

Looking at me with wrinkles and grey hair

It’s hard to believe I lived inside there

I’ve always felt young like I’m twenty five

Life was a blast, finally enjoyed the ride

My body did its job, it held up good

The warnings I had I now understood

The party is over, I’m moving on

I wish I’d loved me more before I was gone

I now understand what I didn’t see

That this body wasn’t what defined me

A being appears in beautiful light

I watch in awe as he moves to my side

“You’ve seen enough, our message should be clear

Now go finish life, be happy, my dear.”
