Bitter Sunrise Would you have cried if I would have died, If it were me instead of you? Would you feel the pain that i feel thats destroying me from inside? And would you have a voice inside that screams and never stops? And would you have stains on your shoes and face from countless falling tear drops? Would you see me in your dreams each night as you lie asleep, would you visit my grave, cry for me and whisper my name as you weep? And would you ask why I had to die and wish that it had been you, would you have done all these things, just as i do, if i had died instead of you?
Reason for writing:
I was in my late teens and a girl i had a crush on for years died in a car wreck. I woke up one morning and looking in the mirror while shaving the first two questions just came to me. I spent the rest of the day adding to it from time to time. It just flowed. Ive never been able to do that before or since.
