Death Quote by Trent Thomas
“As I lay and stare at the night sky, I wonder what its like the day that I die, Will I be remembered, Will I be forgotten, As I lie in the ground, Rigomortis and rotten, What awaits me on the otherside, As I edge closer to the day that I die, My own personal Heaven? My own personal Hell, My mind ruminates subconsious memories, in my own thoughts forever I will dwell, Who will grieve me, Will they even cry? In the moment I become one, with the day that I die.”
