we go away when we die-- forever
some say that death is black
death, an empty hole that traps you
others say death is a place of joy
place with your lost family
living lavishly and happily
heaven, hell, nothing
they’re all the same
each just a name
describing the escape
we are all too scared to say the truth about it
what happens when we die?
your body lying cold in a closed casket
wilted flowers lie on top of the grave
sign of the lost, forgotten memory you are
buried underground
an empty soul
someone tell me what happens when we die
gunshots
drowning
suffocation
suicide
fire
heart-attack
name the rest yourself
answer me
when we die, what happens
answer me
answer me
embers flying into the air
like petals from a rose tossed into the wind
hopelessly spiraling in the air
life’s a sinking boat
and no one dragging me to shore
alone
forever
look
help!
too late
curiosity never killed anyone
until now
