If
If I were immortal
I’d look into every crack,
every rabbit hole of the universe,
I’d absorb, devour and obliterate
like a knowledge hungry black hole,
until there was nothing left for me to discover
If I were immortal
I’d see the love of my life
turn into dust in front of my very eyes,
I’d watch my children grow,
fall in love, get older and perish
until there was no one left for me to love
If I were immortal
I’d solidify like a stream of lava,
hoping to reach the ocean
craving to be embraced by the waves,
to have my burden washed away,
wishing to succumb and rest, peacefully
