If We Were Together (Poem from "If You Were Me")

IF WE WERE TOGETHER 

Part one

I felt the love when you died.

Too much for me to take,

what if we could do a remake?

What our lives could have been

if we decided to stick together?

Please, don’t make me beg,

it's like a rope around my neck

Join my ride once you can,

don’t clap your hands 

if you wish to pretend.

I’m here standing and still

with those words to spill.

A million times before you,

the sky was to me so blue.

Now, I imagine it red 

like I’m done or dead.

This poem is a sample of the first chapter of my new book called "If You Were Me".
