Once And Forever

These were once my hands
Writing my last words
On a piece of rotten paper

These were once my tears
Falling, draining from my being
Freezing on the ground

These were once my words
Making sense, forgiving
Time ticking them away

I say these will be
The last empty whispers
I'll spend on you
No, waste on you
In the knowledge that
One day
I'm picking this up
As easy as you pick up me
Out of my grave
When you need me
