I Wonder What It Would Be Like

A Poem

I wonder what it would be like to be an adult with parents To be unorphaned at the hands of death and sadness To be able to call for advice or just to hear your voices

I wonder what it would be like if you both hadn’t left me If I were whole again A shattered soul glued back together again with your love

I wonder what it would be like if we could spend holidays together and sit around drinking tea and laughing about my childhood The one that was marred by constant worry

I wonder what it would be like without the emotional turmoil bound so tight inside of me that it wrestles my internal organs to get through to my heart as if just to confirm that it is broken, but still operable

I wonder what it would be like if a black hole didn’t exist in my body, in the place where you went when you left me and took my vulnerability with you holding it and nurturing it only to give it back to me later as a useful tool in my life But it would have been better for me if it was just you…and you
