If I Should Die Tomorrow

Lay my head down go to sleep

Far too tired to count the sheep

If I am dead when you awake

It was my life to take

For everyone in it could see nothing else 

But how the smile was such a fake

If I should end up in hell

Remember please, for my heart meant well

Though the world can be so cruel 

Hell is on earth, where demons rule

And if I should end up in heaven

Perhaps I did right in the short suffered life which I was given

Please forgive my poor undeserving fate

For the love was real, but the tears weren't fake

Hopefully, after writing your poem, you felt better and are still writing poetry. I've felt that way before. That's why poetry is good, it helps us get those feelings out and move on. Nicely done.
