News of death

I try to wear the shoes of the dead
To know how it feels to be dead
Each time I hear of death.

Each time I hear of death,
I lose my breath
For a moment, I lose my breath
And then hold them back.
That moment, I died in my head
To ask the dead
If they know they are dead

How does it feel to die?
To lose life forever?

When you die
The earth won’t go silent
The road gets busier
Parties and the neon light

The world moves on like you were never here
Nothing changes, when you are gone..
