I Imagine

I imagine myself,

In a space away from here.

Maybe I'm stuck in the void,

Some place between warmth and cold.

The place where you feel everything and suddenly,

Nothing.

At all.

I imagine myself,

Maybe years from now,

I'm married with two children.

I watch them grow and become people who

Unlike me,

Manage

To do,

Good.

I imagine myself,

Slowly passing through time,

Waiting for the clock to stirke midnight,

Before I make my final escape into the hall.

My prince losing a chance,

But gaining another dance.

I imagine myself being able to speak.

If only my thoughts were as free as the pages on which I lay my words.

If only my breath was as soft as touch.

If only my hope,

Was just as good,

As what I imagine.
