Now they all come to see you
and say nice words they never think of.
Their deep remorse confuses you,
What do they regret?
But you only regret
a simple fact:
one battle seems to be a century long.
Who won?
you close your eyes. _________________ ---------------------

A modern deathbed song. Good try.

Before you close your eyes, you ask the following two questions:
What have we done to thee, thou monstrous Time?
What have we done to Death that we must die?
-- The Two Highwaymen by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
My review of it is posted at http://coviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=36652

I think it would be better to re-write them as follows:
and say nice words they never think of.
Their deep remorse confuses you,
one battle seems to be a century long. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

Life is a battle between nothingness and meaning in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it. _________________ I came, I saw, and I conquered |

A battle against whom or what?
and who is the judge? |

From Penshell,
Deathbeds have a way of trolling all the emotions to the surface--forgive and be forgiven, regret, shame, blame and the host of bad winds that follows. Then sometimes old wounds are healed and there is closure.
You poem made me think Anna. An honest look inside an intimate gathering.
