What If’s

What if the night sky never fell,
the stars became extinct,
questions formed on bending knees,
praying to a blank canvas.

What if your eyes cast upon my face,
witnessing fire within my lungs,
swimming pools in my eyelids,
and you drowned.

What if the power cut out,
bleeding tongues spilling memories,
the truth seeped out through fingertips,
dragged across broken skin.

What if you still loved me,
how the wind and destruction intertwine,
how the sun kisses snowflake skin,
like the day we first met.

What if you still loved me,
the way I still love you.
