Is it strange that I thought the world would stop?
Was I too arrogant?
To think my presence here
me
me!
living
alive
would mean so much more?
That it would stop for a second in acknowledgement?
I'm dead!
I thought I would matter more
Heck! BE more!
there has to be more significance
I'm important!
That my memory would be more searing
that I would leave a mark
a scar at the least
Was I too selfish to think my death would change you?
That your smile would never return
because I was the reason
you smiled?
You should be sad for eternity!
You're not allowed to smile!
You're not allowed to walk on like nothing!
You're not allowed to slowly forget me!
You're not allowed to go about your life like normal!
Why do you get to live while I have to lay
six feet under?
Am I selfish to think this way?
Am I too conceited to think that I meant more?
That the world would stop when I was gone?
How cruel
nothing happened
My existence ends right there
cut short and now I'm nothing but
memory
photograph
video
writing
even though I died
The world still turns
it still turns
