Maybe if it was just a drive,
Down that highway to get to you,
Maybe if it was that easy,
It might not hurt this much.
Think if I could visit the past,
All those weekends by the lake,
Think if we could fish one last time,
It might not hurt this this much
What if it was that simple,
To connect this family once again,
What if I could hear your laugh one more time,
It might not hurt this much.
If I imagine you at my graduation,
With that big smile on your face,
If I imagine you at my wedding,
It might not hurt this much.
The truth is you are too far away
I can't go back to that time,
The truth is our family will never be the same,
You won't be there for those special moments.
The truth is it does hurt too much.

i like how you put the name of the poem at the end of each stanza.
ReplyDeleteThe repetition of the line "It might not hurt this much" really pulls the whole poem together. None of the other lines rhyme, but that line is the reason the poem can flow. It's really great!
ReplyDeletei really like this poem. its very personal. and it helps people envision. and see how much you hurt.
