Verse: Do not say I am gone

Please do not say
I am gone
until I go

until I relinquish
this scarred room
this unkempt body

until you cannot
recall the colour
of my voice in morning

until no one
that we know
mentions my name anymore

until you cannot
find me between
the chaos and the calm

I beseech you
please do not say
I am gone

at least not
until I say
goodbye.
