WHAT IF LOVE IS A MYTH?
Love is kind.
Love is patient.
Love gives.
Love understands.
But what if
love is only kind
until it teaches you to kneel
for crumbs and call it a feast?
What if love isn’t perfect
not because we weren’t
but because fate crossed our paths
when we were meant to grow apart?
They say love is giving
but what if I gave too much
until I forgot the sound
of

What if I?
If I turn into ashes....
Would you try to find?
When I fall asleep forever
Or will I leave this world forever
Would you still try to find me?
In what?
Would you try to find me even if my body turns into ashes and disappears into the air.....
Or in the stars cuz i was always told when people die become

WHAT IF
A film of grime, not on the glass,
but on the seeing.
The scrim of want, of fear,
of expectation's dust.
We squint through it, shaping the world we’ve built

What if the world spun differently?
What if the stars aligned in a new constellation,
each point a dream,
each line a path,
leading us to the edges of our own imaginations?

What if
?What if we hadn't talked or hadn't even met,
?What if we had a different discussion and another goal to set,
?What if we had been more cautious, maybe our eyes won't be wet,
?What if I say I would not be able to keep studying without you I bet !!!
?
?What if we were all alone in a

What If Forever Was Never Meant to Be
What if forever was never meant to be?
Just a story we told ourselves to sleep at night,
A myth we wrapped around broken promises
So they wouldn’t hurt as much in the morning.
I loved you like a secret —
One I couldn't tell myself out loud.
You were my friend,
But I whispered prayers hoping you’d look at me
With the

What if?
What is more painful than pain?
It’s the anxiety of pain that is to come
The pain of a needle being injected is nothing
In front of trypanophobia
The pain of poverty, failure is nothing
In front of the phobia that is to come
What if I won’t succeed, What
if i am not working in right direction

What If He Says That to Our Daughter
-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.
“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.
Late at night,
when silence drapes

WHAT IF?
[Verse 1]
They sit with friends at table nine
There’s an awkward hush that stretches time
She’s in that dress, pretty as can be
A bridesmaid glow, a look of royalty.
He smiles, then sips on his drink
And I can’t help but pause and think—
She looked like a princess walking in…
Is he really her prince? Or just a great friend?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve

What If It Wasn’t A Dream
People want a life
with imagery similar
to that of their dreams.
They wish to replace
the everyday, mundane grind
with nocturnal views.
But how do you transfer
all of what slumber concocts
over to your waking hours?
The answer is easy
but hard to initiate -
Just get out of bed.
This stops the

What If
What if the moon played music composed of others' thoughts and wishes? Would you hum along and carry that tune all day after the moon fades and the sun rises?
What if you could see the wind and know that it carried the hopes and dreams of others? Would you allow it to flow through and

What If Death
What if death is really a birth
An end to suffering and hurt
A beginning of spiritual spring
Leaping from body in denim dream
Becoming energy in fuchsia flight
A golden soul is ready to fly
Be ready to go be not afraid
“The silence fades with a soft embrace”
If you release grief accept Gods word
You too can be

What If I Have To Live Again
What if I have to live again—
Reborn in the bone-thin hush of grief,
A jawbone grinding air,
My love trailing like a torn dress through corridors
Of someone else's dreams.
You cheated with a mirror.
I saw you smiling at your double,
Kissing her with the lips you pressed
To my forehead after midnight sobs.
How dare you touch her with my name

what if the sun never rose?
the morn never came
the sun denied to arise
defied its duty
to say good-bye to hiding
veiled below the horizon
an early bird rose
but if the sun never rose
what would such a bird
do to kill time while on pause
in the darkness scorned forlorn
too soon the cock crowed
the birds sang their dawn chorus
sang again again
in vain for the sun slept-in
hung-over

What If
I want to stop the world.
Not freeze the spin.
I want to critique inertia
Still the blind momentum.
Interrupt the cycle of noise,
The pull of distraction,
The serpent of deception.
To stop the world
Is to reclaim your attention.
Not just mine,
It’s ours.
Like a constructed Mandela effect
I jump and I land,
And the grass beneath me bends.
But imagine—
If we all jumped at once?
We
