Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEEF GHIB JKLB MNNE| Listening as your last breath hovers | A |
| the despairing exodus we all enter | B |
| of lost dreams remorse's murmur | B |
| recalling sharply an accustomed life | C |
| - | |
| Your long expected escape route | D |
| we'd all mapped out for you friends | E |
| helping trying to spot trends | E |
| perhaps to slow your last journey | F |

| How many attempts This truly an end | J |
| How you'd have laughed to see us here | K |
| once more pandering to your lure | L |
| this was folly not your grand adventure | B |
| - | |
| And why this way the corrosive salts | M |
| that burned The damage now severe | N |
| that's stopped your voice that leer | N |
| that still belittles us your friends | E |
