because I wanted to tell you because I thought you should know because I thought it might scare you to see me under the ice make you remember you cared for me what would you do if I died? would you fly out for my funeral? get too drunk at my wake? would you make a scene then? Climb in and try to resuscitate me?
don’t panic I could hear you saying as I fell through blackness complete down waiting till my feet touched
Tomorrow I'm 21 If I Live
/I thought it might scare you, To see me under the ice. Make you remember you cared for me. What would you do if I died?/
I wanted to write a poem from your point of view, But I just couldn’t get into it, Because I know longer no you ‘cause as we grew up together, I thought that would be enough. And then to see you succeed without me, Well, it’s really quite too much. Imagine who we could’ve become. Can you imagine how we could have loved? You said, “Come with me if you wanna live.” But you said it while you weren’t The girl I knew I could trust. She doesn’t exist anymore. You killed her, cut her out, Knives I’ve come to terms with. Tomorrow I’m 21 if I live But how can you age if you’re not alive? And then, how can you die? Lmao, I don’t know.
I’m still a teen, Young Blood at heart An adult with broken mind. And I’ve seen Stuck In Love about a hundred times Drew a connection, to the point of religion, Now I pray for the strength to wait for you. Will you be my Jennifer Connelly?
Can you tell I’m sleepwalking now? And If I should die before I see, This all work out, it could, but I can’t possibly see how, Just please, shhh, just promise me you won’t, if I die, Please don’t let your love follow with me.
