One Last Time

Mar.. 2nd • Written by MZ

I lay there alone

Shrouded by darkness

My heart a dying stone

That my chest couldn’t harness

Thinking of the past

Unaware of the present

Sea of sins vast

River of memories unpleasant

My family my friends all stood there in awe

Not a single soul letting emotions run raw

Their bodies were present but their imaginations draw

My misgivings, my shortcomings, my every flaw

I called upon them

With lips unmoving

All of them phlegm

Full of looks, disapproving

You see I don’t blame them

Cause I was larger than life 

Starter of all the mayhem

The cause of every strife

They call me the breaker of hearts

But the only broken heart was mine

Now I collect its shattered parts 

And face The Divine

I enter the mosque after such a long climb

Praying in congregation such a feeling sublime

Smiles disappear such was the grandness of my crime

I lay down and get ready to be prayed upon one last time
