If I Die Young: Courtney
If I Die Young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink my in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
My name is Courtney Kimberly Smith. I am only 16 years old. I have brown hair and onyx eyes. I have a wonderful boyfriend named Duncan Daniel Scott who is 17. We have been together for about two years. Because of one night a few months ago, I'm now pregnant.
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
My parents would hate me forever if they found out. There is only one way out of it. I will forever love you, Duncan.
If I Die Young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink my in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
I'm far enough along to know I'm having a boy. I want to name him Andrew Daniel Scott. By the time you read this, Duncan, I will be on my way to the white trees. I'll be wearing white. We said we would get married. I still have the ring on my finger.
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time
It's funny how no one pays attention till it's too late. You don't notice the signs until it's over. Goodbye, Forever, love.
-Courtney
Duncan had tears running down his face after he read the letter. They had found the body earlier that day. Courtney had hung herself. He thought she was the one. He loved her. Now there was only one way to be with her again.
Hey guys. Sorry I've been gone so long. I'm in home school now and school was tough. And my mom quit her job and my cp broke so I have to use hers. She left a few minutes ago so I could finish this.
My cat had kittens 3 months ago. Two boys, two girls. We still have the boys and they drive us crazy. I'm getting a poem published again lol.
I love this song and that's how I feel sometimes. I think about killing myself sometimes.
Anyway, I don't own TDI/A/WT. I also don't own the song. Hope you liked it. Bye!
