I                                                       Thought                                                   I Might Die                                          That Day As I Watched                                    Your Lifeless Body Being Lifted                          By Angels, and yet, lowered into the ground.                                           Six feet deep, I refused to                                          Throw dirt on you because                                          I felt as though it would tar                                          nish Your perfect complexi                                          on The beautiful hand I wa                                          nted to hold in mine Was n                                          ow wrinkled and  withered                                          I sank with you My blood s                                          ank into my veins My heart                                          sank into my chest My eyes                                          sank into my head But I wa                                          s not dead yet.  You  taught                                          me to live So I could not fal                                          l apart I bit my lips until  th                                          ey bled Clenched my fists u                                          ntil they went white Fightin                                          g to hold on.  I could not cru                                          mble  But as the coroner low                                          ered you down  I realized th                                          at I had no place to go but up
