by Sariah Meeker What if, when I get there,
It isn’t home, But hell in disguise? What if, when I see the light, It’s from the long shadows Cast on the god-forbidden floor? What if, when you say, “Hello Old Friend.” All I hear are my own betraying words, Breaking promises before they were even made? What if, when we sit down and talk, We realize I am so small, A speck of mortality compared to you? What if, when we have our first embrace, All I feel are the scars on my soul From all the stuff I’ve been through? What if, when I see you, The real you, I realize I never knew you at all? What if it doesn’t feel like home? Like love? Like belonging? Like me? What if… What if… What if… Comments are closed.
