Something must be said
About the wonderful calm feeling you must have
About the sensation you feel deep within
About the goose bumps that engulf your body's surface

Something must be said
About the comfort you feel
About the off switch finally shut one last time
About the plug being pulled forever

Something must be said
About the last poetic moment of life
About the last breath taken
About the last word whispered

Something must be said
About the last sight witnessed
About the last salty tear tasted
About the last scent carried through

Something must be said
About the last reflection seen
About the last contemplated decision
About the last recalled memory

Something must be said
Before you twist the rope around your neck
Before you dive into the cold waters of the bay
Before you pull the revolver's trigger

Something must be said
Nothing said; Nothing done
Something done; Nothing said
Something must be said
