let me die in my bed

let me
die in my bed
surrounded by loved ones,
or at least
the ones
that didn't feign love,
or affection.
a dog
or cat would be nice
too.
curled beside me.
maybe turn the tv off.
enough of that.
cold water,
please,
with ice,
a soft pillow and a warm
blanket
up to my chin.
and if you could be a dear.
read to me.
a poem,
a story.
something to let me
hear
your voice, before
the light
ends.
