What if?

Life goes by
Giving us choices
Making every single lie
Nothing but blurred
Voices

Drowning
In my own thought
Doubting
That I'll ever know
What would have happened

What if?

What if
I didn't wait
To tell him

What if
They didn't care
About me

What if
I wasn't
Here

Thought
Kill
Slowly

Stabbing ourselves
With questions of
The past and future

Asking
Who
What
Where
And why

Why me?

Who can save me?

Where will I be?

And
What if?

Frozen in fear
Of not knowing
What will happen

Petrified
By the idea
Of pain

On my knees
Holding my head
Trying to keep it
On

Holding on to all
The strength I
Have left

Asking so many questions
Of what would have been
What would have changed

Later apologizing for
The idea of
Curiosity

Wishing to know
The future

Wishing to know the
Paths
We could have
Chosen

Who
Would have changed

How
Possibly
They would have
Been better

What if
I never met
Them

What if
I was never
Here

What if
I didn't
Say anything

I'm sorry for betraying
You sanity
For curiosity
