Dead Popular

She watches as they lay her body down,
figures standing Stone Henge perfect
around eternal abyss.
Shedding crocodile tears in mock sorrow,
borrowed by a lie.
It’s funny how many friends you have 
when your dead.

Haha, I totally agree! Don't come to my funeral if you didn't bother with me when I was alive! Thanks for the read, Jan!
