I Did Not Die

Do not look down in sorrow
Where I lie in the dirt
Look up towards the sky
Where I no longer feel hurt

When you lie down in bed
Don't think of the empty other side
Be thankful of our life as it lasted
Please don't think of that night I died

As you look at our photos
Stop seeing me bleeding on the floor
Remember the smiles and laughs
Which we can share no more

Through the dark in the night
All you see is that knife
Why can't you just think
Of your happy, loving wife?

Hearing the running water
You recall memories of it all
The many tears you cried
Lying next to my body on the floor

So you visit my grave
And just stand there and cry
Filled with so much pain
Why did I have to die?

Not seeing what it brought
You only see what was taken
It's killing you deep down
As your heart is slowly breaking

Before I left you alone
I whispered in your ear
"Don't cry; don't mourn
I will always be here"

So you look up to the stars
The bright shining light
Think of what was once there
Before I was taken that night

As I say my goodbye to you
I don't want to hear a cry
Don't look down on my grave
For I was never there; I did not die
