What Will I Do? Poem by Erika Wingo

What Will I Do?

Rating: 5.0


What will I do,
When you are gone
How will I force the breath
From my lungs
Up past my lips
And out into the world
How will I open my eyes
Focus,
And push myself through another day

What will I do,
When sorrow grasps my heart
With an iron fist
Squeezing until finally
I begin to split
Then rips me into shreds
Until I feel like
I'm bleeding inside
And my tears become blood

What will I do?

powerful and expressive - questions most of us have asked at one time or another, every one finding a different answer down the road at some point. A flawless penning.
