What If

What if the sun never shined,
or if the moon never showed?
What if poems did not rhyme?
What if time slowed?
What if birds never sang harmonies?
What if it never rained?
What if there were no melodies?
What if all colors drained?
What if no one spoke?
Or loved?
Or if no one ever joked,
or hugged?
What if? What if?
What if no one asked this question,
ever again?

Golden Paradise

The flowers bloom,
the air blows,
the sun will be out soon,
and then it shows.

The wind sweeps across the land,
it whispers in my ear:
It’s out at last!
The sun is here!

I look across beyon the mountains,
and on to the vast seas,
sunrays shoot out like fountains,
with radiant beams.

The water acts like a mirror,
reflecting neon lights,
everything is clearer,
like a golden paradise.

Never Might

My baby has a broken heart,
If I had known I would've done something,
Maybe fix the little broken parts,
She shattered to pieces, into nothing.

They made sure the wrapper was sugary sweet,
Soy you wouldn't believe something so beautiful could be so sad,
There was no way to look through the deceit,
They made her mind go mad.

Her sobs wake me up while I sleep,
Before that I could never even tell,
Now I even hear the sound of her steps, of her feet,
Her voice echoes through the nights, ringing like a church bell.

Tonight she craws into bed with me,
Just how she used to when the storms scared her,
She still wears the dress she was buried in,
And even when the summer wind sings, all I hear is thunder.

I keep visiting her grave, I keep asking her to stop crying,
-Please try, just for daddy-
-I don't like keeping you awake, sorry dad-
-Please try, it will make me happy-
-I'm sorry I never told you I was sad-

Two years have gone by, since I last heard her cry.
My little girl, I miss you so much, your mother does too.
Please make her wish come true.

Now I'm the one who cries every night,
I can't stop...
And I never might...

Not Us

I saw you,
My heart did not beat faster,
I touched you,
It was like hugging a stranger,
I talked with you,
A normal conversation. 

Because it wasn't you. 
The boy I love is gone.

His smile is like any other I see,
His eyes hold no appreciation for me,
His arms are not around my body,
His handsome face is like many.

And you felt nothing for me,
Because I'm not me.
I died when you left,
And you can see I've changed.
Just a shell.

And I am afraid that if you come back,
So will I.
Because I know you will not.

I saw you,
But how could that be,
If you are not you,
And I'm not me?
