Book Title Challenge #63 - JLY, And When I'm Gone Options

[JLY]

AND WHEN I’M GONE

When I’m gone, lying in paradise,
found kicking the sky below me,
the collector of dying breaths
will set my wearied soul free.

And the dark sacred night spurs
dreams of gods and monsters,
while the cauldron of ghosts,
in secrecy, purge the impostors.

My life was full, not half bad;
so why have I been fated to be
a victim of the winner’s curse?
A shroud of death I long to flee.

Sadly, I am forever far from you,
the here and now I must endure;
please love and treasure our life,
journey on, never take a detour.

May my after party be festive
and joyous, with no barbed zings,
like the mark of the dragonfly
who flies about and never stings.
