feeling muscles slowly burning
entropizing, vainly yearning
wanting just to stretch beyond
confines of disease's bond
feeble neath this grey pall
clenched tight in sickness' thrall
whispering my last request
praying that what i've confessed
through the son will be forgiven
when from life my soul is riven
