In The Event Of My Demise

#VocalNPM

“And look down on a world that knows me by more than my name...”

You talked about your future like you clearly saw it ending

Your words were way too vivid to show signs of you pretending

Inevitable demise, was it something you could do

To stray from the dismay, that you felt was haunting you

I feel your words can heal, everyone except yourself

What a curse to have a power, you can’t use when you need help

When I look down from the clouds, I hope I don’t feel disdain

And look down on a world that knows me by more than my name

I love you, always will, I see myself inside your eyes

Will we still look the same, in the event of my demise…
