I Am Dead

lay on my bed
 eyes still to red 

 nevermore a word to be said
 and now I am dead

 say a prayer
 make my eulogy 

 in my favor
 not that it would matter 

 the words that all would savor
 something that would make the 

 people in the back stop their chatter
 rest is all I need 

 and tomorrow you will see
 after the dirt is over me 

 your life will be
 one without we
