The day after you left,
Everything is normal.
Your friends at school assume you're sick,
Or playing hooky like always.
Your pets wake up,
Not knowing they'll never see you again.
Your parents go to work,
Still mad about the argument yesterday,
The last argument you'll ever have.
The day after you left,
No when went into your room,
Unanswered calls build up,
Notifications buzz your phone,
Onto the ground.
The sun still rises,
It's light falling through the window,
Warming your corpse.
That's the worst part,
The day after you left,
The world kept spinning.
Your best friend found you after school,
She couldn't breathe.
Two people died,
But only one stopped breathing.
Your funeral was quiet,
No one could hear the pain.
Your stuffed animals stayed where you left them.
The days after you died,
Weren't rainy
When they put you in the ground,
It was sunny.
We all wished it wasn't,
But it was.
The days after you left,
I decided to leave to.

The day after you left,
Everything is normal.
Your friends at school assume you're sick,
Or playing hooky like always.
Your pets wake up,
Not knowing they'll never see you again.
Your parents go to work,
Still mad about the argument yesterday,
The last argument you'll ever have.
The day after you left,
No when went into your room,
Unanswered calls build up,

Onto the ground.
The sun still rises,
It's light falling through the window,
Warming your corpse.
That's the worst part,
The day after you left,
The world kept spinning.
Your best friend found you after school,
She couldn't breathe.
Two people died,
But only one stopped breathing.
Your funeral was quiet,
No one could hear the pain.
Your stuffed animals stayed where you left them.
The days after you died,
Weren't rainy
When they put you in the ground,
It was sunny.
We all wished it wasn't,
But it was.
The days after you left,
I decided to leave to.
