Would they cry?

Would they cry when I pass ?

I think they would if not at first 
then at the last.

But just a single tear and only
those that held me dear.

The slightest little moment 
far more than they can bear

They'll see all that I have wasted
all the potential that was there. 

With all their little stories
there memories of me

they'll speak of disappointment at
all the things I should have seen.

But if I lived my life 
as true as I could be.

If I leave behind people
better off for knowing me

How bad could life have truly been?
