How Would It Be?

by always the same   May 17, 2012


What if I died that night?
And my little plan worked out
How would you feel?
Could you ever forgive yourself?

Would you shed a few tears?
Or call me pathetic?
You said you've known sadness.
Please, you haven't even met it.

Would you speak at my funeral?
And talk like I mattered
Will you tell them you loved me
And act like you're shattered

It's all a load of crap
I shouldn't have to die.
You should have cared all along.
Now you bother to cry?

Where were you when I was shaking
The bottle in my hand
You could have saved me then
Had you just taken a stand

It's too late now to say you're sorry
For death is the one thing you can't undo
Just know you played a part in this.
It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you.

Grief is what reveals us.
But this isn't how it should be.
I wish people were always this real.
It would have saved me.

    Unfortunately, I did go through it, but I'm here and I'm still smiling and I'm okay now.
    Thank you so much!

    This poem makes me sad. I am sorry if this happened and I am glad that you did not take your life (if this is true).

    This is a very raw poem, one of the rawest that I have read. I feel like it is a sort of "revenge" poem as well because you were angry at somebody that you knew for not noticing that you were in pain.

    The last stanza is completely true-I agree with you wholeheartedly. It seems that in a time of great pressure or great sadness people fully reveal themselves.

    Awesome poem (and I am sorry)
    5/5
