My Dead Body

Do not weep over my grave Do not waste your tears and lilies Do not clutch at the hand of your almost lover Do not read a eulogy Do not pretend to have liked me Anymore than you were forced to love me Do not have a party Do not celebrate my life Do not force my memory All I ask is take my ashes Away and to the sea And bury me below the waves Do not waste your life to miss me
