When I die
Let the music I loved tell my life story
My silence tell my peace,
Find comfort in the memories we once shared,
Let the world know of all that I endured,
Keeping in mind that every story comes to an end.

Same as mine,
I reached my end,
The album that kept my memories no longer had space for anymore memories,
My scars and pain needed me to rest.

The call was made,
And I answered,
I felt the need to have my peaceful sleep,
I couldn't reject as peace was all that I needed.

Let go of me,
As not to abandon me but rather,
To free me.
Don't let go of our memories but rather,
Lock them away,
In order for you to have peace,
In order for you to heal.

My death came as a heartbreak,
To you, understandable.
But then, I found peace.
Let me spread my wings,
For I will always be with you,
When I die,
Let my story be known,
For I couldn't tell it myself.
