I want you to dance when I die.
Dance at my funeral.

I've got it all worked out.

A celebration everyone will attend, even those that aren't invited, so don't send invitations, I'm too popular to kill all the lights, the cameras.
It'll be dark at night, bring your flashlight.
I will haunt the cemetary, so watch where you stand, I might sneak up behind you and breathe down your neck, blow in your ear.

You'll feel it later, your heart will pound fast.
You'll run to your car, glad it's all over.
And you'll scream, scream loud and hard until you can't scream anymore, scream until your lungs get sore and you break into little pieces, your thoughts and wishes, ambitions, spill all over the floor.

I'll read you like I've never done before,
know what you're thinking,
see what you're dreaming by looking through your eyes.

I won't say sorry for being this way.
I'm the one who's dead.
Can't you see?
You're no longer in control of me.

I just want to scream.
Let it all out, break free.
But there's no one to listen to me.
There's no one to tell me everything will be okay.
There never is, is there?
Only a little girl with a vast imagination would ask for such a thing.

But now that I've been covered,
Now that I'm hidden from view, you can't tell me what to do.
If you look for it, for me, you will find every line, every story of my life,
Buried in the ground.

Don't look.
Don't dig me up.
Let me rest in peace.

If you decide to go against my wishes,
I may be dead, but I'll take you with me.

I'll pull you down,
Down into the fiery pits of Hell.

I will suck you right into the ground.
This is somethin' I wrote a while back, pretty lame.
But...I figured I might as well post it, critique please.

Thanks for reading. =]

[Note: The picture is of dancing, and how it says 'invitations', maybe death is meant to be a party, not some poor excuse to cry. Dia De Los Muertos.]

Okay, this is the second time I've done this one, I'm hoping it's better. I tried to polish it up abit. Tell me what you think.
