The Web Poetry Corner - Richard Betts Jr. - Alive

Alive

by

Richard Betts Jr.

Blackness overtakes me,
Light vanishes from my eyes.

Heaven forsakes me,
Everything is paralyzed.

I have a pocketful of hopes
And dreams that rest unrealized.

Yesterday, I was alive,
I loved, I laughed and I cried.

Yesterday, I was alive,
But today, today I died.

How did I die they ask,
It really doesn't matter now.

What matters is - what did I give.
How well did I live.
