how does it feel
when you leave this world
and the ones that you love
no longer see you?
how will you know
how they really feel?
will you be able
to see their sadness?
you won’t be able
to hug them and tell them
everything is alright,
but what if you want
to know if they really care?
you always hear
others say
“you wouldn’t care
about me if i died,”
but how can we know?
we can’t hear anyone
cry out our name,
we can’t watch
their tears fall
from their face,
we can’t wrap our arms
around them one last time,
we can only watch
from wherever death
sends us.
there’s even a chance
we might not even watch,
because death sends us
to all different places.
i don’t want to leave
this beautiful earth,
the mere idea
greatly frightens me,
but i guess i’ll never find out
how everyone would feel
if i did.
would the world
turn a blind eye?
would it cry?
would it celebrate?
will i be loved even more
once i’m gone?
they say
all the great ones are,
but what about the ones
that are forgotten?
i don’t wanna be one of them.
