"What if I Died Today?"

What if I died today? 

Would you wake

From our silence, 

Call out my name

Again and 

Again?

What if I died today? 

Would it mean to you

An endless romance or

Just an 

Abrupt end to something

That could have meant 

Nothing? 

What if I died today? 

What if

I died today? 

Would you say 

Aloud you regret? 

Regret 

That we let

Sadness just form itself

Into reality, 

That we let such

A beautiful thing

Slip,

Creep,

Breathe away. 

What if I died today?

How many seconds would

Tears fill my mother’s 

Eyes? How many questions would

Be, but not asked, and

How much void would be filled

With fragments of memory? 

And if I died today, 

How many days would it be

Until you genuinely and 

Completely

Forget 

About me?
