Best Dead And Gone Poems

When I’m dead and gone

you’ll still be having fun.

Occasionally remembering

when we were under the sun.

When I’m dead and gone

tears will be shed.

Memories suddenly remembered

only to be overcome by dread. 

When I’m dead and gone

my body will be under ground.

But my *heart* will still be here,

you...

Life is like a red umbrella
dancing in the sweet blue rain or
running through the deepest puddle

Lord, offer thee, just a few things, 
white robe or gown, for
My trip to heaven,
When I am dead and gone

Please, do not bring me
flowers I cannot smell,
red roses I cannot...

When I am gone you can spread the word
And leave your cage like a big black bird 
You can tell your world of my dreadful deeds
And give your hungry lover all the food he needs
You can eat your breakfast with you hair undone
When I'm dead...

when i'm dead and gone; 
i'll be the wounds on your wrists, and i'll be the sketchy marks that reminds you how 
the blood was touching your skin when you thought you couldn't feel. 
i'll be the broken bottle next to your bed & i'll...

Don't wait till I'm dead and gone  
To shower me with praise and song  
For the words you speak when I'm alive  
Are worth more than flowers on my grave  

Don't wait till I'm six feet deep  
To share the...

When I am dead and gone,
My name will still live on.
For I leave behind a legacy,
Of love, kindness, and bravery.

In the hearts of those I've touched,
My memory will be clutched.
Stories of my life will be told,
By the young and the old.

My name will be whispered,
In...

Looking at Mister Death in the mirror each day, I chuckle
The idea of worrying about when my time on earth ends
It really is very comical to me in many ways

At age fifty, I have outlived both my father and sister
Fifteen years past my father and...

Dead and gone

You think you know me but I'm wiser than chess
I was born to attest
Confess
God only knows how the rest of you bless
Children screaming I want so the parents get it I guess
You earn less
You don’t sleep because you didn't quite give it your...

WERE WORE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST TO HELP ME GET THREW
MY DARKEST DAYS WERE THE SUNSHINE REFUSED TO SHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY
EVERY DAY WAS SO HARD TO SEE A CLEAR BLUE SKY ON A RAINY DAY
WERE THE STORM FOUND ITS WAY INTO...

Tears cannot stop flowing down my face,
You broke the news to me through the computer,
You didn’t even have the guts to say it to my face!

I said it would happen,
You promised it wouldn’t.
 
You try to tell me “nothing will change” !
But it always does,
Everyone...

Shattered, broken...Gone,
Just disappeared into mid-air!
Now I start to feel alone,
Telling everybody that it's not fair,
Holding a grudge against everyone I know,
Because that one person had to go,
Knowing I’m growing too old to cry,
Not a kid anymore and someone died,
I can't cry everyday like I want...

When I am dead and 
six feet under,
please don’t bring me 
flowers I can not smell,
red roses I can not see or
stems I can not touch

Well, don’t let your 
left hand know what your 
right hand is doing and...
everything will be all right

When I am...

One day I’ll be dead and gone.
The world will forget about me.
But life will still keep rolling on
As it does now without me.
Nothing that I do will last
No matter just how clever.
Forgotten once it’s in the past,
All dead and gone forever.

One day I’ll be dead...

I’m loosing you
Her voice went out
Muffled by hospital walls
Again she said
I’m loosing you
But there was no reply
Please don’t go
Her voice high pitched
Reached out just like
A safety line
As though her words
Could bring him back
But nothing could be heard
I’m loosing you she said
Into a cell phone
With the...

Despite the ways that you may strive,
With photos or with stories,
To capture someone once alive,
Describing all her glories…

It can’t be done; it doesn’t work
For everyone’s uniqueness 
(That charming or annoying quirk,
That inner strength or weakness)

Is something we can’t translate
Or convey to make her real,
No matter...
