Don'T Wake Me
When I am dead,
don't wake me.
I love you.
You love me.
No need to make tea.
I live on in you and yours.
A look, a glance.
A turn of phrase.
No need to gaze
into the coffin,
where I lie.
I am already gone.
Bury me or burn me.
I'll wait about.
Long enough to see
what you did with me.
It matters not a jot.
I'll never leave you.
I'll be all around you.
Loving you as always.
Until you join me.
When I am dead.
don't wake me.
I love you.
You love me.
No need to make tea.
