If I died would you care?
I mean, what if I was no longer there?
Would the world suddenly end?
Would you mourn me my friend?
Would you feel such deep sorrow,
That you'd care not of tomorrow?
Would you somehow honour me?
Could that set your conscience free?
Would people I hardly knew suddenly claim to have been my close friend?
Would they pledge their assistance to the cold, and bitter end?
Could you survive without me?
Move on and just be?
How many people would attend my funeral service?
Would the chapel be full and the eulogizer nervous?
Who would deliver that eulogy?
Would they say wonderful things about me?
As my corpse lay at the front of the hall
Would some be planning their afternoon at the mall?
What would become of my family?
All those who have grown to rely upon me.
Would the show of support be overwhelming at first?
But slowly diminish once they get through the worst?
I would be gone, simply not here.
They'd be alone to fight through the heartache and fear.
So what if I died right here on the spot?
Trying to finish a poem but this was as far as I got.
Would I be able to write the rest in my head?
Or would I just be gone, cold, and simply put, dead.
The world would continue along without me
Others now being where I used to be.
At first my presence would still seem so strong
But then slowly diminish as they all move along
Of course they'd talk and say, "Remember her?"
But over time these would grow increasingly slimmer than what they were.
Simply forgotten as time wastes away
My existence vanishing more with each passing day
The more that I ask, the better I see
This question is not for you, it's more for me.
So I'll rephrase and make it concise
No sugar coating to make it sound nice
If I died, why should I care?
It would simply just mean that I'm no longer there.
