If I died, would you care?
But wait, don’t worry
I’m not going anywhere
A hypothetical question
For an answer, I task
But if I died
“What happened?” Would you ask?
Or shrug your shoulder
Not a thought, would you cast
Would you weep or cry
A year of sorry
Or put pity aside
Would you miss me or not
Maybe you don’t care
not one jot
But if I died
Maybe miss my company
No more amazing chats
Over a cup of tea
A glass of wine or meal with me
Laughing and joking
The night and day away
Life still goes on
Even at a million to one
Sad though it seems
But if I died
Impertinent to ask such a question
But would you commission
A huge erection
A statue or monument
“Here lies Mikki T
She lived, she died
But she is now dead
Not here anymore
For her life is gone”
But if I died
And the question remains
Would you miss me
If I was dead?
If I was Dead (poem)
