Lack of a better word Poem, by GingaNinja, at My poetic side

I ask what would be the worst case scenario for “us”? For lack of a better word.

You know, since we were never actually “us”.

You said “that you meet someone new and stop talking to me”

You never asked what mine was…

Maybe, because you already knew you would fulfill my darkest fear, when it came to “us”, for lack of a better word.

My fear is that you would leave, for any reason at all.

And that you did…for no reason at all.

Or at least no real reason for “us” to no longer be “us”. For lack of a better word.

Fulfilling worst dreams is the topic of this poem and sad it seems indeed.

its interesting how attached we can become to someone before an "us" even exists. or at least that we can fear the ending of something that hasn't really begun. shows the depth of our emotion and care, i think.
thanks for sharing!
