If What?
January 27, 2018
Your onerous words
Rise off the paper,
Aimed at my throat.
Each expectant syllable
Grows immortal eyes,
Continually watching in omniscience.
As forced motivation
Climbs up my throat,
So does the probability of failure.
Even though you’re gone,
These words aren’t just words,
But I can’t stop being human.
