If I died

If I died

A Poem by ashweejune

If I die today

Would you even notice?

Alone in my bedroom

How long until someone realizes

I’m rotting on the closet floor

 

If I die today

Would you cry?

Should the guilt wash over you?

When not a tear falls from your eyes 

Do you discover?

You never really cared

 

If I die today

Would there be a funeral?

No one would show up

To see the cheap coffin lower me six feet under

And the decaying flowers thrown on top of me

 

If I die today

I doubt you’ll ever realize

That alone in my bedroom

I’ve been dead for months

Pretending to be alive

 

So if I die today

Where does this leave us?

About
The smell of the rain makes me smile. I am my own worst critic. I believe in self-respect. My family means the world to me. Poetry heals my heart, love is my therapy, and my body is drug-free. more..
