when death calls

please remember me for my eminence

in moments where i am not helpless 

and in reveries where i’m not a mess

i am saying these words with great emphasis
please remember me for my allegiance 

and in times where i radiated happiness 

like flowers blossoming with no distress

for in the future, this will be an evidence
when i’m completely on the edge of passing

my body smells of reek instead of roses

and my skin has aged, no longer sun kissed

please, remember me for my death is calling

and this is it, my last words, i suppose

“all of this will be a proof that i existed.”

–a.r, when death calls.
