Don't Let My Words Fade

I will not live long,

I want my words to remain forever.

I will leave my unsung songs,

Promise me, you will leave them never.

When I am no more, don't cry,

It would be deceiving me when I was alive.

So here I lay, under this tombstone with my head up high,

When people like my words and want to see me, tell them that I am no more;

Show them where I lie.

My words will not haunt you,

They will be gone along with me.

I will leave my words with you,

Don't expect them to be words of glee.

I wish that my words gain attention,

As I was not a person to be.

I lived all my life in seclusion,

Don't believe? Come and see.

This is how I bid you goodbye.

After I live; before I die.
