That Comes With A Question
There is a twisting
An internal shifting
A tangential listing
That comes
With a question of existing
There is a thirsting
An internal enlisting
A tangential resisting
That comes
With a question of persisting
There is a wanting
An internal insisting
A tangential manifesting
That comes
With a question of coexisting

Questions
How
Can I mourn
The person
You didn’t allow me
To become?
Why
Do I
Keep believing
You’d want
To help me?
What
Would it take
To show you
That
I am
More lost
Than ever?
When
Will I feel
The love
You say
You have
For me?
Where
Are you
Now that you’ve
Left
Your marks
All over me?
Who
Am I
To deserve
These questions
Answered?
