A life lived in reverse

Knife to my throat

You asked me to present my last words

I had more than a million but I never

spoke

I stared back into your soul

Knowing my puppy dog eyes weren’t

going to be enough to stop the blow

Lost in time

What more does a child know

Make peace with death or beg

Okay

I sighed to take my last breath

Watching the kaleidoscope of life

Somehow it felt sane to smile

A life lived in reverse

Ive seen the end before the worst

Sometimes the biggest blessings in life

appear to you first as a curse
