my heart aches as i recite
the bell will toll my time tonight.
one more hit, i'm almost through
one more hit, i still miss you.
My last puff, my eyes close slow
life delivers one last blow.
i wake up, bright lights about
though i feel pain throughout.
I felt alone, my heart still beating
given time for one more meeting.
through the door, he comes in
my body aches from within.
he smiles at me, says 'how do you do?'
'I came here to rescue you.'
