Immortalist Poems | Examples

Gone But Not Forgotten

You thought that we didn't love you
 And that we didn't care
But if only you knew
 That we would be living in this nightmare

So you decided to take your own life
 How could you be so selfish
You were only thinking about your afterlife
 Not about those you left behind feeling anguish

First, you tried with an overdose
 But you didn't succeed
Thank God it didn't leave you comatose
 But we didn't know that you would proceed

Then you tried by cutting your wrist
 So you would bleed to death
But you didn't realize you were an immortalist
 And would have one more breath

Finally you succeeded with a bullet to the heart
 How could you do it
You thought you were being so smart
 But to us you were being a hypocrite

What about those you left behind
 Don't you care about our pain
How could you be so blind
 Not to see that we would go insane

Our hearts will break 
 Til we see you again
But there's no mistake
 You may be gone but not forgotten
