I wonder..

I wonder what it would be like to not love you.

 

What would happen if I let go?

I didn't hold on tight enough when it counted,

and now I'm stuck not able to let the rest of you slip through the cracks. 

 

Could I stop being stuck in the past picturing the future that didn't happen?

A tux is a nice look on you,

I picture it often,

the ring on your left hand our last name engraved into it.

 

Would I not have this sinking feeling?

It would be nice not to feel the panic of not being able to get you back,

it would be nice if the imaginary clock didn't keep ticking off the days you have been gone. 

 

Would I be happy?

would not loving you make me happy?

would not loving you make you happy?

 

The only future I see is one with you,

what would my future be if you weren't in it?

 

Would I live a life that isn't grounded in the past?

 

And would my eyes not be stained with years of tears?

 

It's funny how one small crinkle in your life can affect every second after.

 

I wonder what it would be like if you loved me.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
