All These Maybe's ----------------- I stand naked As naked as the moon, as still as an island who's shore roll away into the sea. I don't wish to be an island......but I am I said "I remember what we had" he said "I remember what we lost" I don't remember what went wrong. They said "It's time" I said "two minutes, two minutes!" They said "now c'mon" I said "just two more minutes!" I heard the shot ring through my body the hairs stood on my arms I froze I lost a friend I loved for more than a lifetime for 2 minutes I chose wrong.......it was two minutes too long. All these "maybe's" drift between my ears, "what if's", hover on my lips I don't know; what's the difference? I'm living under the influence. I want to jump.....it looks to far but I want to jump.....I'm scared of what's below but I want to jump.....I don't know I don't believe we get to choose our fears I want to jump.....off my bed, but I'm still scared Saltwater drips from my optic organs runs down the lane, round the corner and past the little girl telling nursery rhymes to herself off the edge of this world and explodes as it lands. Then my face falls to my hands. I just discovered I can't please everyone..... .....that doesn't please me.Birth sign: Libra
