Poems

Maybe

I opened the message,
your goodbye.

I read it again and again,
but it hit me harder each time.

Maybe if I read it one more time
the words would change.

Maybe if I somehow read it differently
you would come back.

Maybe if I turned it off then on,
the message would go away.

Maybe if I cried enough,
the pain would leave me alone.

Maybe if I called you,
you'd say you didn't mean it.

Maybe if I just throw it away,
it never would've happened.
