One Word #8
Word: Astronaut
Astronaut, Noun, A person who is trained to travel in a spacecraft
I
wonder
What it’d
Be like to
Finally leave
You behind?
Would I be at
Peace, or would
I cry? Would I be
Okay, or would I be
Alone? Maybe I'd be so alone that I wouldn’t realize it. Is it worth freedom?
Would sacrifice be worth? If I had eaten the food you made tonight, would that Be enough for you to smile at me? “Don’t bother,” So I guess it’ll be a no. I’ve
Always dreamed of being an astronaut, because maybe if I brought
You a star, You’d finally smile at me. But now, I can’t hear
Your voice, and I can’t see your face. In this place
Where no sound will reach me, I see that
There is no way I could ever make
You happy, for I cannot touch these
Stars, I’d surely be killed if I were to try.
In this place where nothing will resound,
I cry out to nothing, hoping that one day,
This song reaches your ears even now.
So I will wish for the impossibilities,
Including the one of you ever
Loving this me. But I feel
Like I will finally be
Okay alone.
