Would You

If I were 
To die tomorrow
What would you do? 

Would the ache 
Travel down your throat 
Suffocating your stomach 

Or would the parties linger 
Like the bottle of tequila 
You carry every weekend 

Would your eyes swell 
At the thought of
My apartment sitting empty 

Or would you 
Be spending the night 
With the blonde down the hall 

Would you ask 
My mother for
The promise ring you gave me 

Or would you 
Pick out a real diamond 
Some day instead 

Would you 
dress up 
And come to my funeral 

Or would you skip
cause no one could know 
You were still in love with me
