Forgotten

I lay on my back 

Cold, wet, grass pressing skin

The Heavens beyond,

And Hell behind

A tear drips off my cheek

Running down my neck

For soon I'll be forgotten

Hands thrown out

Like the wings of an eagle 

"Take me!"

I scream

To Stars, Moon, and World

Submitting to them at long last

Soon I'll be forgotten

The winds howl

Ripping at clothes

Tearing at skin

A puff of air escapes

Cold, dry lips

Body relaxes into grass

I'll be forgotten

I float towards the Heavens

Away from Hell

Looking at them

Alone

Left behind

Forgotten

But I
I am free
