what if?

carina_rdrgz Poems

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?
