The Living Broken (Poetry)

No Longer & Never Again

I would laugh a million laughs to make you smile.

I would dream a million stars for you to sleep well.

I would hold shards of glass and broken jars for you to never suffer again.

I would swallow a sea of water for you to never shed a tear.

I would paint the galaxies one by one for you to never be afraid of the dark.

I would walk a billion miles for you to never be weak.

I would cry a thousand rivers so I can cross it and be with you.

But I can't for I no longer see you.
For I can no longer see your smile.
For I can never watch you sleep.
For I can no longer help you with your pain.
For I can never wipe your tears.
For I can no longer be your light.
For I can never keep you strong.
For I can no longer see you again.

I would cry a thousand rivers so I can cross it and love you like I did before.
