"WHAT IF?"

You call me poetry,

What if you lose the words to read?

You mend my scars with care,

But what if they persist to bleed?

Forever, a promise we made

Yet what if it fractures and breaks?

In your heart, I find my space,

But what if it begins to ache?

You name me your guiding moon,

Yet each night, I dim and fade,

For though I brighten your path,

What if you seek shelter in shade?

You claim I am home to you,

But what if a garden you chase?

People often opt for finer things,

then what if i am replaced?

These 'what ifs' haunt my thoughts,

Though I pretend to disagree,

For all these what ifs leaves my mind,

when you say, you love me.
