As I die

This heart has failed me

I can not hear a thing

confusion all around me

and the sight of peaceful wings

 

I can see a butterfly

in this dismal hour

death is overwhealming me

by which I have no power

 

I am wrestleing with death

slowly my life ends

I have a date; with the reaper

in this land of make-pretend.

Author's Note

My favorite poet is emily dickonson and she has a poem called " I heard a fly buzz when I died" and that is what inspired me to write a poem about what it would be like in your last moments
