This is the last fight

This is the last fight

There is no more

Blood to spill

Strip me bare

Lay my body

Gently on the ground

Before the last breath

There will be a moment

When I can see you

Taking care

To wash me clean

Massage my wasted

Muscles

Ease the pain

Of leaving

Salve the skin

Knead it with

The love you carry

Deep inside

It will

Mend a splintered core

Restore lost faith

Rescue spirit

From the doldrums

And set

An old soul free
