How..... Poem by Alex McCullough

How could I ever express to you,
The feelings you draw up…..from within?
On silent nights just like these,
I lay soundly in my bed……thinking,
If tomorrow never showed up,
What could I possibly do…….without seeing you?
To just think,
Of such things,
Is more than enough,
To twist this fragile heart…..and shatter it apart,
But even if it is true,
And strong enough to kill the me now,
I’ll keep heading forward to face it.
Sometimes in life,
You have to rise up,
And watch the future you wish wasn’t,
It’s so hard…….but I know you can.
How do you expect me to compress these feelings,
And turn them into understandable words,
A story……..left untold,
Yet when the morning rises up,
I want to be the one reading it with you.
Keep coming back,
Like faded waves to a shore,
And don’t expect me to go anywhere,
Because when tomorrow arrives,
You’ll have me to welcome you.
