"The Night Before I Died"

The night before I died...
There were still a million things
    left to be done
My work was in a constant state of incompleteness
My bank account had more money
    than I could spend in a day
My gym membership was overdue
My novel finally had a title
    but I still couldn't decide on
        what story to tell


The night before I died...
I stayed up all night
    Just thinking
        Imagining
The possibilities of a different life
Could I have been more brash in behavior
Or less indulgent with hiding?


The night before I died...
I hadn't clung to the lips of a girl
She had visited me countless times at night
But her face kept changing each time
I named her my "Porcelain Doll"
    because I was "Tin Soldier"
I loved my Porcelain Doll with all my heart


The night before I died...
I was playing "All The Things You Are"
My Porcelain Doll and I were gliding
    on the pool of my mind
We rested from our gliding and took a walk
She said to me,
    "Finally come tomorrow,
    morning will never again interrupt us."
She was referring to my promise to her
    granted the day I died.
