When I Die

I'll toss my heart in a recycling bin
Keep my memories in a tin
Store my love in a bottle and send it across the sea
Throw my thoughts into the milkyway galaxy
I'll save a spoonful of my heartaches
In the attic, with old friends
Place laughs beside stories, as bookends
I'll bury my smile with my frown just below the ground
A bowl of tears mixed with shame never to be found
I'll save some late nights and soul for those in need
A hint of happiness and a passion just enough to feed
The starving children and homeless men
Those wandering after 10:00
For those lonely and searching, my eyes will be above
Looking down, with the stars, helping you let go of
Me
You'll move on
Continue with what I give
Because after I die,
You are the ones who must live
