You always reached for the sky
You never let yourself catch your breath
You pushed harder and harder till you broke
You couldn’t give up and cry
You dared not drink from great Lethe
You wouldn’t stop till you’d choke
You gave the world a reason why
You mocked the pale, ghastly face of death
You laughed and danced through the smoke
You dreamt beyond the infinite lie
You went somewhere quiet to die
