WHEN I'M DEAD

 When I'm dead,

don't say

"He is in a better place now."

I shall not be anywhere

except in your memories.

When I'm dead,

don't say

"He is in peace now."

I would prefer excruciating pain

to non-being.

When I'm dead,

just say:
"He loved life,

he feared death,

and death erased him."
