Feeling the weight
The pain of
What if
No eye dry as I wonder
What if
I’d done things different
Smiled instead of cried
No answers
Just more questions and insistent
What if’s.

When I see
The beauty
The realm that is you
That is me
Then I understand
How earth is made universally
No more hidden virtues
No more what if
I did that
All is clear
Rendered in a cohesive life
Like this
Like that.
