what if
the world crumbled beneath my feet
and the sun
burned me to ash?
what if
the grass turned yellow
and lifeless,
while the sky fell
all around me?
what if
the oxygen i breathe
escaped my home
and left me gasping
for air?
what if
i lost it all
today?
do you know of my world?
my sun?
my land and sky?
the air i breathe?
my all?
my everything.
he has a name.
it's one of the most
beautiful sounds
my ears have been blessed
to hear.
the galaxy's stars
dance in my eyes
when i gaze upon him.
my heartbeat flutters
and pounds the air
out of my chest
when he calls me
by name.
what if
my home,
my world,
my everything
turned
into nothing?
the thoughts of losing someone
i never thought
i'd come to love
so much
keeps me awake at night.
what if
he left,
here today,
gone tomorrow?
what if
the love we planted
together
died
and dried up,
no salvation,
no remorse,
no more seeds
to plant.
my very soul
would cease to exist
because how do you survive
with absolutely
nothing?
