Watch Me

Watch me

As I stand here

Bleeding

My passion turning red

In the oxygen of the air

Flowing down my body

In a steady current

From the torture of life

Watch me

As I step out of this cage

Into the blinding light

And screams of the crowd

Roaring all around

Slowly I take the steps

Soft seconds counting away

My wrists in chains

A final prayer drawing from weary lips

Watch me

On the forbidden stage

Alone in my helplessness

The noose hugging my neck

Rough rope cutting my skin

Those terrible shouts

Stabbing my spirit

Endlessly

And time counts down mercilessly

Breath, just breath

Heart beating finitely

For the moment dawns

And the end arrives

With all eyes on me

Watch me

My final moment of life

My final breath

My final heart beat

One last glance

One last dance

With Death, my cruel mistress

And the curtain closes

On the story of my life

Watch me

As I say goodbye

Forever
