Open Casket And The Rain Poem by Courtney Casebolt

He always stood there with a smile on his face
Waiting for me to walk his way
Little does he know someone is about to take my place
I’m gonna get blown away
Don’t bother looking when I’m not there to hold
What you’ll find is my body lifeless and cold
Remember the look in my eyes
Now they’re free from a lifetime of lies
Chorus
Please don’t distract me
Right now I’m busy
About to cause myself a lot of misery
Forget my days of dreaming
They’re going down the drain
Now I lay here screaming
Soon there will be no pain
If you come to my funeral
I pray you ask
For an open casket and the rain
Treasure the time we shared a kiss
For my lips are now closed and won’t remember sheer bliss
Don’t forget this
I’m now not around for you to miss
Chorus
You never bothered to say goodbye
You only wanted me to die
