Not a Suicide Note

Would you care

If you woke up and I wasn't there

Would you think the worst of me first

Would you accuse me, degrade me and curse

Would you worry and call my family looking

Or would you think your ignoring me was working

Would you care

If you never again heard my voice

Would you miss my laugh, my singing

My hmmming and huuuhing until I made a choice

Would you miss the way we move together

Or the suppleness of my skin

Would you wish we had been braver with each other, not waiting for the other to begin

Would you care

If you tried to call and I didn't pick up

Would you assume something sinister, a betrayal by hook up

Would you care

If you found me by the end of the day

Lifeless and broken and bleeding from the things you constantly say

Would you care
