What Could Have Been Poem by Warren Zukina III

I could have been
someone to catch the rain on my shoulder
while you tell deep secrets
while the thunder is distant

I could have been
like a sunny day
to give you a tan
while you will never forget

I could have been
your favorite music
as I sing
I fade, with satisfaction

I could have been
your beloved blanket
to keep you warm
while your state of mind is cold

I could have been
like a ocean
with calmness or commotion
You could have trusted me with you emotions
