When my body begins to rot

Once my soul has been freed

After my cracked mind is finally gone

I hope to join the flowers

 

While my flesh begins to deteriorate 

My eyes lose their light

Bones become brittle

I hope to join the flowers

 

As soon as my heart stops beating

My brain loses its spark

And my lungs lose their air

I hope to join the flowers

 

Behind my childhood home

My cold body lies

Being consumed by the luscious life

that once filled me with love

I join the flowers
