My struggles you shall never know
For before this day is complete
Ravens shall perch upon my pate
And ants will gnaw at my feet

Worms shall meander to and fro
As blind to my sorrows as you
But deep and intimate shall they get
Beneath the skin into the sinew

My heart shall finally fully burst
But not with love requited and kind
But with maggots indifferent as you
Who find my demeanor divine

Microbes will turn me into pus
As I finally learn to let it all go
Liebling, it was only a simple life
I wanted with you, as you know
