When I am dead !!

They told me life is a gift,

But I never got the drift,

Carried myself along till the very end

And then I realized what wise men said

And now there’s nothing I can do unless

I can do me undead

Never thought I will be so helpless

After I am dead..

They said it’s beautiful when you love

But I never actually saw the dove

Carried myself alone till the end of the road

And then I realized there is no one I ever loved

And now there’s nothing I can do unless

I can do me undead

Never thought I’ll have an empty heart

After I am dead

They said it’s worth it when you care

I did for many, I swear

I cared all along till my last breath

Did I get it back, or was it just bad faith

Was it support, was it sympathy or was it just fake

For me, my mind and soul was completely at stake

And now there’s nothing I can do unless

I can do me undead

Will I, at least be cared

After I am dead?
