If I Leave Here Tomorrow Poem by Denise Clark

If I Leave Here Tomorrow

Rating: 5.0


If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
Would you realize I was gone
Or would you forget what you can't see?

Did I make a difference
In at least one persons life?
Was I what you expected
Or just a selfish wife?

Who will truly miss me?
What would they tell my son?
Did anyone think I was special?
Did anyone think I was Fun?

These things I constantly
Think about each and every day
What would they say about me?
Who would be there my final day?

Would they tell my daughter
Special things about me
Or would they let her forget
What she can no longer see?

These things eat at me
Causing me much pain
If I could let it go
I'd probably be more sane.

I just feel so alone and
Always feel left out
When it is my time to go
I don't want there to be any doubt.

So if I leave here tomorrow
And you do remember me
Just make sure to carry my memory
And never forget the things you cannot see.

In most cases I feel there is a part of everyone that feels this way even if for a brief moment in their existance here. I for one can tell you that those lives you have entered, those people could not forget you, you are thought of by many and cared about. wiether or not you realize you have touched me by just being there and loving me and I know a lot of people who would agree. I love you XOXOs ~Loretta

denise, that poem was heart touching! for some reason it made me think of my aunt carmen (you can check it out under my profile with the title 'carmen') who died. she was like my best friend but now she is gone. it makes me think about her because sometimes i forget what it was like to be around her. i still remember how she used to get drunk. but n-e-ways i loved this poem! love, pete wentz' babe

Thank you Denise. You are thought of and would not be forgotten. More immediately, the poem speaks for you.. and for itself. Thank you for sharing those fears that many of us in comparable positions also have to feel...
