Page 10 - for the brokenhearts,

#8 if only

you wanted to crash my place,

but my family favour space, broke down on my knees,
sanguine that there’s tomorrow, it was so gut-wrenching,
I say see you soon, my heart was aching,
if only I knew that was the last. my hands are shaking.

then tomorrow arrived, months isn’t enough,
notifications doing quite a number, now it’s been years,
all were from your mother, too weak to act tough,

didn’t know my heart was about to shatter. all I have left is tears.
my entire face went white,
suddenly my world stopped. if only I knew that was the last.

PEACH, 2021
