Analysis of The day after you died.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The day after you died.
I died.
I felt my hands and they were dead.
Then I felt my body and it wouldn't stop crying.
I thought of something else.
That thought was you.
I told myself to eat but there was no food.
I was dead.
The day after you died.
I died.
