As the dreadful days drive by
I wonder, with tearful eyes
What would other's life be like,
If I were to simply die?My mind crawls to funeral day
A sea of black, clouds of grey.
Tears like Gucci, real and fake
The wind drags my memory away.I then see the headstone,
My curly name sitting alone.
Only withered flowers will remember
The dead girl from that home.I will warily watch and weep
As you break what you meant to keep.
How will you face your reflection
Knowing your words were those of deceit.I imagine hereafter as a dark sad place.
How I long for an (your) embrace
But you won't dream of me anymore,
All our memories, you will erase.That's what my death would be like,
The black of a bee from a small hive.
Yes, it might sting on impact
But soon, the swelling will subside.Daily, I watch them with a smile
Thinking its as fine as dark wine
That yes, that would be their lives,
If I were to simply die.
