OC Poetry untitled
it is so simple
to retake ‘the world without you’
i’ll suck in all the air.
hold it for three seconds and three lifetimes
and release it atom per atom, a slow train of molecules
i’ll
recreate what i’ve lost
leave what i’ve gained
step backward, a perpetual retrograde
until to that point where the branch diverged:
this path and that one i didn’t take
i’ll lead myself back to that day
cheers to a world without you
just like today another lonely day
