Premium Member Dead and Gone
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 and gone, No memory worth keeping. And all who’ll mourn my...

Premium Member When I Am Dead and Gone
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 admiration and respect rendered. It will be etched on stone, As a...

Premium Member Don'T Wait Till I'M Dead and Gone
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 memories we can keep For the laughter and joy...

He's Dead and Gone
He's dead and gone In vain I look for comfort Despondent, walking along the beach The waves sweeping onto the pebbled shore The drifting shale The sands of time The mortal affliction of life and death Cruel fate has struck its final blow, He's dead and gone In vain I look for comfort. ...

Dead and Gone
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 what our mandate Or emotions we might feel. A person gone stays...

Dead and Gone
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 best The woman you love is sleeping in an apartment with...

When Im Dead and Gone
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 be the wine on the floor slipping through the cracks,...

When I'M Dead and Gone
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 and gone The birds will sing about your evil ways And make...

When I'M Dead and Gone
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 just won’t hear it’s sound. When my soul is out of...

Dead and Gone
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 too, But that person’s death sticks to my heart like glue, It...

Dead and Gone
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 battery dead...

Even When Im Dead and Gone
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 knows it all changes. I can’t do this anymore! My heart is...

Dead and Gone
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 ten past my little sister So, every day I wake up...
