A.W. Books & Poetry

It is wild how a word can change your world.

You let one slip,

Then suddenly it’s a shifting abyss,

And you can’t quite get a grip

Wondering how it ended up like this.

But, is it not insane that with all this power

We still play the silly games,

And wonder why it all stays the same.

This ones for all the secret mind pains,

And dreaming about how to say “I love you”,

Then taking it to your grave

Because you are too timid to be brave,

As if then they’ll tell you they feel the same.

Our biggest tragedy is the desire to wait,

Dallying on what-ifs

Until it’s too late.
