I know why the Fat Lady sings

 

I know why

The Fat Lady sings

Not because of the tear in her eye

Nor for whom the bell toll rings

She has seen the beginning of an end

And waved goodbye to an all too

 needy friend

She now blows kisses

in the wind

to the worst who misses

  how they sinned

Shedding space and time

 in the mirror

Defying all reason and rhyme

 Accepting love more nearer and clearer

Though the mind may never again be

 what the eyes did see

There is so much clarity

 for a well-prisoned reality

WOAH! THIS POEM IS AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWESSSOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMME!!!!!!! Besides that, I believe it really captures the feeling of death, and a sudden realization, and trying harder and... well, that's how I interpreted it at least. Nice poem.
