I wish to say what I would say if I were in front of you all,

Speaking of what my death was to be.

To be honest, I wish to kneel before you all

And thank you for your bitter love

Snuffed out of your hearts and converted to air

That blows over my grave every night

So please live on with my flash and voice

Because you didn’t know me before my death.
