If I killed myself tonight, the stars would still appear, the sun would still come out, the Earth will still rotate, the seasons would still change, so why not?

Do not tell me
your best friend
would not sit at your lunch table
just staring blankly at your old seat
wishing that you were there
to fill that space with laughter

Do not tell me
your younger brother
would not break down in the middle of class
because they started talking about
your favourite subject in school

Do not tell me
your mother
would not stare into the mirror
with trembling lips
whisking she could be
bringing you home from the hospital
rather than escorting you away
in a casket to the nearest graveyard

Do not tell me
your father
would not begin working night shifts
to distract himself
of the silence at home
because you're not up
until ungodly hours of the night

Do not tell me
your boyfriend/girlfriend
would not go into your room
and put on the last hoodie you wore
trying to desperately imprint
your scent onto their skin
so that they never forget your smell

Do not tell me
your friends
would not stare blankly
at the gymnasium wall
after the principal has announced
your death
to the entire school
making no sound
trying to convince themselves
that this is another
one of your impractical jokes

Do not tell me.
This stupid line
How the stars will still appear
The sun will still come out
The Earth will still rotate
And the seasons will still change

Because without you
None of these people
Will want any of that to happen
