My What Ifs

This slippery slope, owning 5 years
It claims my thoughts, 
Splits my heart, 
And fraction’s loyalty

Bleeding dry
Yet wet with tears
I dream of you
And my what ifs 

Always.

Upon that night, you saved, you grew
I saw you hero
Indent my spirit
And commandeer.

Bleeding dry
Yet wet with tears
I think of you
And my what ifs 

Always.

You gift and play, upon request
Yet look deeply
Of free will, 
Reflected, shinning

Bleeding dry
Yet wet with tears
I feel of you
And my what ifs 

Always.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
