What if he does drugs
that end up ruining his life?
What if he never finds himself a husband
Or a loving wife?
What if he is timid and never follows
His wildest dreams?
What if he’s successful
But he’s horrid and he’s mean?
What if he decides
That he can only lie?
That no one will love him
Or they only say goodbye?
What if he regrets
All of his biggest choices?
Or he completes his aspirations
But...
Here we go again.
School is starting and I’m a wreck.
What if people start to notice?
What if they ask if I’m okay?
My friends are already sending me paragraphs talking about how badly I need to eat.
What if people begin to ask why I’m always hiding in my oversized hoodies?
I already have one friend worried about me I don’t need the rest to worry as well.
And I’m just so tired of the headaches...
You embrace me tightly
Eyes shut in the morning
Moving to feel with your iris set
On the inside of your eyelids
Draped in my touch
The gentle, fleeting, lovesong sunset

It was a dreary Monday when it occurred to me that you might have forgotten who I am, who I was.
When I thought my heart couldn’t break any more, it did. Once I found out it was partially true.
I remembered even t...
‘I used to worry about you’
Like would you see the sun?
My mind pondered this through,
Scaring my heart just for fun.
‘You wished I didn’t worry you’
Like did you really care?
My soul twisting the screw,
I take on what you want to share.
‘I really should worry about me’
I need to rest my tired mass.
Into dreams I need to flee,
My head less crass.
Worry less,
Rest more.

I know you’re probably just busy
Busy with school
Busy with life
Or family
Busy
Busy
Busy
I know that’s the most likely possibility
But we haven’t talked in weeks and that’s just not like us
We would talk every few days
We would rant
Laugh
Comfort each other
But where are you?
You’re my best friend
I trust you
I do
But I can’t stop this trail of worrying thoughts
_Are you ok? ...
