When I'm gone

When I'm gone

A Poem by Enigma

I live..

I breathe..

I carry on..

But you never know

When my last breath

Has come and gone

WIll you even notice

The empty seat

At school and at home

Or will you leave me in peace

All alone...

Will you remember my laughter

My jokes, my talks

Or even my thoughts

Or will you do the unexpected

Forget all about me

Just shrug me off

Will you shed a single tear

For me

When I'm gone

Or will you hide your feelings

And tell others to stay strong

Not many will remember me

Let alone miss me

Yet I'd remember you all

And though I'm not there anymore

I'll help you up

When ever you fall

I did ask for more

WHile life remained within me

Dying of suffocation

Yet, what all I did have

Was truly beyond my expectation

I didn't get what I wanted

I got what I needed the most

And yet, I complained

Oh! There are things that I'd change

So many apologies

So many 'thank you's

So many hello's still remain...

The funny part about life. We miss people after they leave us. I like the storyline in this poem. We need more hello's and friends. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
