Description I wonder if you would notice
If I was not around
Would it make a difference
Is I was buried underground

Would you come and visit
My pathetic little grave
Just sit and breathe beside me
And listen to the waves

Would you stand still on your birthday
I wish that I was here
Would you have to truly fight
To hold back any tears

This is really powerful. I disagree with Kate and Chelsey though, I like the first stanza and I think the last 2 lines are actually the weakest in the piece. To me the second stanza is the most powerful and I think it'd be good to have it last, but that's just my oppinion.
One thing: is I was buried underground?
Anyway, this really is a beautiful poem. To me the beach on a windy, cloudy day in the afternoon is the best place in the world to just sit and think.

I like it alot, but it didn't sound like it was finished - i think it had a really strong beginning but the ending was lacking something - great work though

i agree with kate on that the first verse doesn't seem as strong as the last two

i especially like this bit
Just sit and breathe beside me
And listen to the waves

beautiful

graves at the beack ... can't say I've ever contimplated the idea before ... it actually sounds kinda nice. Serene. The beach just seems like a good place to think about life, and death and stuff ...

anyways, great poem.

And a fitting title it is. Had to read this one over a couple of times (the sign of good poetry). Excellent work.
