I would've changed it all

I would've changed it all

A Poem by Mk.t.g

I wouldn’t have shaken your hand

the urge to resist, to pull it away

had I known it would strangle me next

I wouldn’t have looked in your eyes

had I known they’d blur mine

had I known the clarity they’d slowly steal


I would’ve stayed back

and played the depressed kid

had you not shown me happiness in your presence


But the problem was

as it echoes in the remaining ashes of my burnt corpse

I didn’t know any of this, like I want to know now

and now it's all gone, all dust and scattered

but where did my happiest years go off too?

did you take them with you

or threw them out somewhere isolated… away from my reach?

Oh honey. How do you do it? How do you write so beautifully and draw the reader into the story? I really love the way you make your words come alive. You are so talented!

I want to put your name on the list of poets that everyone will admire but no one will be able to harm you. I am so lucky to have you as my friend. hope you always write and hope i always be here for you!
