If

Questionings.

What if

what if

what if she leaves me?

I thought.

 

What if

what if

what if she runs off with another man?

 

She wouldn't, she said,

with every measure of confidence.

And I calmed down a bit,

at least for a while.

 

Today she ran off with another man.

Author's Note

I think these fears cross the mind of any lover out there, male or female.

The last line struck me as funny. There's a dark humor to it.

I like this. Short, simple, to the point. A thought that crosses everyone's mind at one point or another, as you've said. This can apply to anyone and anyone can relate to it. Awesome universal poem.

[Stormy Weather]

Although doubt can sometimes seem like paranoia, it can be quite helpful as well. Good poem.

[Pickleby Davies]

I really like this.
People shouldn't make a promise they don't know if they can keep.
It doesn't help anyone
