I Didn't Know
I Didnt Know:
I didn't know that I was dead,when I woke up this morning,
that through the night while others slept,I'd left without a warning.
I thought it odd I felt no pain,when I jumped out of bed,
the noticed absence of its presence,pounding in my head.
And it was strange ,that I could move about my house with ease,
that I could bend and straighten up my tired crippled knees.
I must have slipped out quietly,before the break of dawn,
I didn't know that when I woke this morning,I was gone.
