Write a story which could have this as the title.
Simply Gone
If I was dead, I’d be simply gone.
I wouldn’t be quite missed or loved and lost,
I’m sure they’ll only think of the costs,
of me lying on my deathbed,
the musician in me wants a song,
but I know I don’t have far too long.
A poem will suffice because a mark will be left.
Just remember, I’m a soul only wrecked,
a soul no one would bother to stoop,
a soul no one would bother to create yet another Dead Musicians’ Support Group.
If I was dead, I’d simply be gone.
I wouldn’t be missed because no one cares,
and it’s not my music that blares.
I’d simply be gone,
even though my life
was not that long.
