Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

I Wonder

I am lovelorn, she ditched me
If she comes back, what then?

The wounds she inflicted on me
If they begin in heal, what then?

The memories that I hold so dear
If they begin to fade, what then?

So I’ll pray with all my heart
If my dreams come true, what then?

I set out eagerly on life’s journey
If I reach my destination, what then?

I might close my eyes to dream
If I fall asleep, what then?

I am world-weary willing to die	
If there’s an afterlife, what then?

Oh, I’ll battle my demons alright
If I win God, what then?
