When I have ceased to be

When I have ceased to be,
When I am not I am;
When the sun has cooled away,
And the moon is all done.

When you are not who you are,
When the world is not what it is,
When night is both long and short,
And waves stop tumbling on.

When the stars forget to shine,
When the time comes to a halt,
When the days stop being days,
And nights just linger on.

Then come meet me over the pale,
Then look deep into my eyes,
Then think on what you've done,
Then weep the tears of all these years,
And wonder where you went wrong.
