Close My Eyes

As I lay here dying I watch the people pass me by And not one person here is crying Even though they know that soon I will die, An honest and caring person I was not As I had used and lied and cheated What they and others didn’t see, GOD had caught My soul and conscience had retreated, Now my victims are all standing around me They watch me suffer while waiting for my last breath Not one of them will listen to my mercy plea They all just sit and wait only for my death, I wish that I could not hear them As they talk and whisper and likewise I know to Hell my soul it is condemned And for that journey, I wish someone would close my eyes.
