FEELINGS OF DESPAIR

br /> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

If I died, would you care?
Would you shed a single tear?
Or would any thought you might have had,
Of me, just disappear?

Would I not have touched you,
Enough to feel upset?
Would your memories of me be trivial,
And easy to forget?

Self-doubt is surrounding me.
My isolation is killing me.
I want you, need you, more than ever.
I'm crying for you desperately.

Please, care for me,
For my sanity's sake.
Without you it is agony,
So cruel and hard to take.

But would you feel the pain that I would feel,
If I no longer could see your face?
Would you feel the void that I would feel,
That same type of strange, empty space?

My fear is that, in truth, you wouldn't.
My concern is that you just couldn't.
If you find one day that I'm no longer there,
It will be too late to know that you care.

So hold your hands out to me,
Throw your arms around me,
Just reach out and touch me,
While I am still alive.

I want to reach out to you,
And throw my arms around you,
While I feel so much for you.
Before one of us dies.
