would you?

By Kfritz

Would you miss me
If I disappeared?
My body will still be here
But I wont
My body will always be here
In the wind where its ashes float
Into the sea where they’ll sink
In a fish after being eaten
In bird shit that lands on your car,
Both fish and my body will be there
In the sponge that cleans it
Then it’ll be washed down the drain
Eventually evaporated into the sky
And back to you during the rain
A part of my body will still be here
But I wont
So, would you miss me?

    I really liked this. Mirrors a lot of my own thoughts.

    A question that all of us will wonder before it's over...
