The clock is loudly ticking,

as my life ebbs away.

I wonder how I will feel,

when it becomes my day?

 

Will I be filled with remorse,

for things I never did?

Will I experience regret,

for things I never said?

 

Will I be filled with anger,

for things I didn’t do?

Because the time just slipped

away, before I even knew.

 

Will I think about you,

as I’m taking my last breath?

Will you even be there,

as I walk towards my death?
