_______________________________________

I've been dead for the longest,
This isn't my first time.
But people never cried for me,
It's my first hearing them chime.

Green was my favourite colour,
Why is everyone wearing white?
Still... It seems beautiful,
Like stars in a dark night.

I can't hear but still,
This noise feels serene.
It's so cold! I'm covered,
Still I feel seen.

They covered me in white,
They uncovered my scar!
But what's the point now?
That I'm way too far.

I got 4 shoulders to support me.
They took me for my last prance!
But were they present?
When they actually had a chance?

He was there at my destination.
Over me he put a single lily.
I see regret in his eyes.
I hope he doesn't do same. Will he?

I see you lighting a body.
Cold, fireless from years.
Forgive me I was too weak!
I won every battle! but lost to my fears.

If you loved me, fill my last wish.
Let my last flames be bleem.
Please cover me in copper,
I want to burn green.
