Michael Mignott Poet I do not know?

The Day You Died

the day you died was just another day
i got ready for school 
did my work 
then went home
i hadn't realized 
did i realize 
i wanted to scream
i tried to forget
but every time i fell asleep
you were there 
i could not get rid of you
i thought for days 
nothing worked
i tried my best 
all my emotions were a wreck 

we left for the funeral
i couldn't stay
i looked at the coffin 
i couldn't stay
i wanted to open it 
to see you alive and well
to see you looking at me
that would never happen 

every time i said you would just walk through that door
good as new 
but you never came 
i cried 
waited 
cried 
waited 
until i was a mess
but i finally 
realized you weren't coming back
