if there came a day where you packed all your emotional baggage and left
I’m not quite sure what I would do
I would not sit and cry
for I do not cry
and I cannot sit still
I would not listen to sad songs
I would listen to loud  metal rock
in a hope to drown out the final words that past your lips to me
and every other word you have said to me

I would not watch films or read books I would lie on my bed trying to ignore the tea stains
and the blankets we curled up underneath I would stare at the ceiling trying so hard to block every part of you from my mind

I would never drink tea from the cup you gifted me I would never read Harry Potter again after all the long talks about our shared favourite series

unless I was sad about all the moments we would never share
then I would sit and drink tea  hoping it would drown me
I would read Harry Potter watch the films and glance at fan art simultaneously
i would listen to every sad song that ever reminded me of you
i would sit unmoving for days tears of tea running down my face

i would not be able to not think of you over time this may change
but i would always have a scar to remind me of the old wounds time never can’t heal
and i will always hope that you would heal them one day

My feelings still linger
Towards you.
Still attached
To this idea of a what if-
That will never come true.
I know I confessed a thousand times
And
I know that
These scars on my heart will stay the same.
I also know that
How you view me will stay the same.

I can't help but hold on to a what if.
Yippp~

Maybe all that is worth mentioning,
can't be mentioned.
Maybe all that comes around,
can't be seen.
Maybe all that we hear,
is inaudible.
Maybe all that is meant to be,
never was.
Maybe all that's left,
is what's felt.

Quite often, I ponder
“What’s worse?”
a love that once was
or a love that could have been
and the ”what if” that follows it?

shh and allow me
to find the words

there aren't any;
just know I would
live through it all
again
to be here with you, I suppose it was worth it in the end

What if I did without a thought
What sort of troubles would be brought
My fists would be black and blue
And The walls would never look new

What if I did without a thought

Money would be nothing more
But useless things to fill my drawer
Lines and art would surely drown
Every inch from the neck down

What if I did without a thought

I fear My anger will get the best
I could manage all of the rest
But my anger will send me through trouble
Leaving my life to nothing but rubble

What if I did without a thought

I would be homeless on the streets
With nothing not even bed sheets
To keep me warm through the night
For with my family I would fight
Kick me out all on my own
I’d loose my job which is something known
I’d be hungry cold and thirst
Which one would take me first
So what if I acted without my brain
It would be my life so full of pain
