What If? (12/10/22)

And what if there is no light
Without you?
What if you were the light
And now darkness
Is all that’s left?

And what if there is no happiness
Without you?
What if you were the joy
And overwhelming despair
Is all that’s left?

And what if I am never complete
Without you?
What if you were the best parts
And this hollow shell
Is all that’s left?

And what if I never feel peace again
Without you?
What if you were my calm
And chaos
Is all that’s left?

And what if I can’t be strong
Without you?
What if you gave me confidence
And weakness
Is all that’s left?

And what if I am lost
Without you?
What if you were my compass
And confusion
Is all that’s left?

And what if I have to survive
Without you?
What if you made life worth living
And loneliness
Is all that’s left?

What if?
