What if it doesn't go the
Way I want it to?
What if it becomes a big
Flop?

Excitement and fear
Battle it out in my heart
As the hour draws near
So close yet so far

And then it hits me
Like a cannon freshly fired
This matter, simply trivial
Just the way my brain is wired

Why should I worry?
Let it go the way it does
All these fears, bury
Because think about this

If I can worry about that
Equal fear then goes to:
What if the sun doesn't rise?
What if I never wake up?

All equally scary
Once you take a moment
To
        *think
so I'm really excited for something tomorrow but also scared it all goes just wrong, so just have faith that everything will go the way it's supposed to :) even if you're not religious, there's no point worrying in something you have no control over right?

Here we go again
Not a single word in sight
No attempt at contact
Did I do something wrong?
Or are you ignoring me
Am I too clingy for you?
I don't believe a simple "Hello"
Every once in a while
Is considered too much
Maybe you're busy
And I'm overreacting
I can't help
But to worry myself sick
All these what if scenarios
Only to conclude you are alright
The sun resets itself
Leaving us another cyclical day
Of worry and ignorance
Being ignored ***** tremendously.
I feel so alone and forgotten,
It's unreal.

What if I went out every night
& kept my phone on silent
so that every time you called
it would keep ringing & ringing
until my annoying voicemail
flooded your ears over & over
about three dozen times or more

Call again

What if I said I had too much going on
& that my grandparents or father
needed my assistance for something
far more important than wasting
any of my time on you or your family
even though plans were nonexistent

Try again

What if I was late to school almost
two times a week because I knew
I could get away with sneaking to
her house while you woke your
mom up so that she could take you
to school because I was "oversleeping"

Late again

What if I held your hand everyday
down the hallways of this hell hole
& kissed you goodbye before each
& every bell, but found my seat
next to her in the back of the room
where no one would suspect a thing

Goodbye again

What if you started to notice that
I was slowly starting to fade away
& thought I was talking with her
& I yelled at you for accusing me
& thinking I was untrustworthy
& maybe I forgot the real truth myself

Yell again

What if I got caught in her bed
one early morning by her father
& he called & told my mother
& she threatened to kick me out
if I didn't tell you so I lied again
& promised that I had told you,
but I wasn't telling you anything

Lie again

What if someone else told you
& I ran out of lies to tell you,
but I still continued with my streak
& tried lying my way out of losing you,
but you were done with my *******

Done again

What if she wasn't my only lover on the side
What if I had lost count of all of them
What if I promised to change
What if

*You can't

What if I never met you?
What if I didn't take the call?
What if we never crossed eyes?
What if we didn't have lunch?
What if we never touched?
What if we didn't rush?
What if you had been honest?
What if I hadn't been so stupid?
What if he never knocked on the door?
What if the truth never came out?
What if?

If I had one wish
It would be
For everyone in the world to put on their brightest clothes
To pick up their most beloved object
To leave the house as the sun leaves the night with them
And smile at someone

Any person, that's all
Then talk to them
Show them their object
And coo at their companion's own
Then invite them to eat
And smile at the servers
(because, let's face it, they have hard jobs)
And talk

Then, meet more people
And take them somewhere nice
The park is a good place to go with a full belly,
And watch the bright birds go by
And talk

Then, as the sun goes down, watch it with others
And all sing a song together,
Any song
And sigh
Because
It was a day well spent.
If I had one wish...
I realise that for this to happen I would probably bankrupt any genie, but it's what I want.

What if you find someone new? What if you already have? What if it’s all a game? What if she’s better for you than I am? What if you never really meant what you said? What if tomorrow I don’t hear from you? What if tomorrow I do hear from you? What if I can’t handle this weight on my chest? What if my lungs give out? What if I love you? What if you don’t love me? Do you love me?

What if you mean what you say? What if you’re telling the truth? What if I’m important to you? What if you want to make this work? What if this works? What if I get what I want? What if I’m it for you? What if I love you? I do love you. What if you love me? Do you love me?

What then?

-h.w.
Long distance with someone I don't even know if I'm dating...

and i'm scared because if
somebody says your name accidentaly
out loud, i swear i'm gonna
explode in screams and storms
and cry myself to death, 'cause
even the sound of your name out of other
person's lips, sounds so beautifully
devine to me, and my skin is sensitive
and still untouched, ready to be burned
by your flaming fingertips,
but what if you never want me to burn?

What if Midnight
Was really Daylight
And Dusk was really Dawn?

If
What if...?
What if we could...?
What if we had to change...?
What if the world needed someone to cry on...?
What if society turned to the misfits and the irreplaceable...?
What if these thoughts swirled and swam and didn't doubt the thinker...?
What if, what if, what if...?

Gliding across the sparkling night sky,
no scratch that, more like
I'm moving across like a leaf carried
by a silent zephyr.
Clasping hands with
a man, with an unknown face,
but a body of perfection,
capable of dancing the night away with me...
I closed my eyes and let everything
blow away.
Stepping with the grace of a
teardrop,
I waltzed,
foxtrotted,
swinged,
meringued,
rumbaed,
my way through the night,
as everyone around me
began to run
and scream, terrified,
as buildings began to collapse
and everything felt so surreal
and and the fires started
and and the walls came closer and closer
and I danced faster, faster yet
and a women came around to me, shaking me, yelling something undecipherable
and I began to cry
as I was finally able to crash.

I woke up with a start, a dreamy smile left on my
plumped lips, and ruined mascara and eyeliner,
and  a dazed starry eyed look.
On the floor, the only evidence
were a pair of ripped up shoes.
follow up to previous poem, for ember. :P basically when i was younger, in my school they taught me how to ballroom dance. at the end of the year, i could have chosen to continue, but didnt in fear of my peer's judgments... now i wish i had cause i loved it... what if-ing everything...
