That Last Gasp

She took her last breath
a sweet sip of candied wine
Like yesterday was always fine
After all, this...
well, this was the reason she'd made the climb.

You wicked - wicked mind

A thousand deaths just to get to this one
A braver quest ain't never begun
Oh... shun her if you will
Still
She's in you now
Like wool in steel

Tell me, how does it feel?

This last gasp of who she was...
will you recall
Long after she's in your pause?

Oh, that last gasp
Just before the old her is
Finally gone
Cuz
Come summer...
Sprawled out across the lawn
She'll rise again
Just like that pesky dawn
