Ending
by Steve BabaIf I died today
Would you still love me?
They would put me in
That white hot fire
And burn my body
To ashes.
Could you love a pile
Of ashes?
They would put me in a box
And say that he
Was ready to explore
The ocean.
Would you be there
When they sent me afloat?
No heart left.
No mind left.
My soul went up above.
And I would have to wait for you,
Hopefully many years,
Because you deserve to be happy
In life.
But I hope you don't forget me.
