Eulogy

Eulogy

Bury me in a eulogy of roses,
Β While time decomposes.
Β A feeble heart will cease to beat,

A long glossy coffin, dreary black,
Β An effigy of sorrow on a plaque.
Β Tears won't conceal the deceit.

Remember not the regret,
Β A failure at life's roulette.
TemperΒ harsh words of me,

I was never sainted,
Β an imperfect soul tainted
Β Too stubborn of flaws I didn't see.

I leave few with broken-hearts,
Β As my essence departs.
Β Sullied soul's auction overdue,

Pray if you must,
Β I deserve mistrust.
Β Satan shall claim you too.
