When You're Gone (Poem)

When You're Gone

You would like to think you matter
that the world would be a little sadder
when you're gone

rest your eyes love and go to bed
the sheets are warm and you are cold

you imagine flowers and red bouquets 
laughter among the young and old 
when you're gone 

rest your eyes and come back to bed
the sheets are cold and you are warm 

I imagine life would be infinitely dull 
filled with greys where once was blues
when you're gone 

so close your eyes and lay with me 

the sheets are cold and so are you
