When I'm Gone

a poem

Do not mourn me when I am gone because I was never here at all

I was a whisper on your heart

It said, live not alone. Love unafraid. You are why I was ever here at all

Do not mourn me when I am gone because I was never here at all

I was a whisper in your heart

It said, live not afraid. You have never been alone. You are why I was ever here at all.

Do not mourn me when I am gone because I was never here at all

I was a touch on your cheek

It felt like, be not ashamed because you are far more beautiful than you feel.

Do not mourn me when I am gone because I was never here at all

I was a touch on your cheek

It felt like, be not ashamed because you are the light that led my way.

Do not mourn me when I am gone because I never left at all

I am The voice in your head

It says, be not forgetful because I never forgot you. You are why I was ever here at all.
