Maybe in another place
The stars aligned differently
Maybe there I was allowed
To open up my ribcage
And invite you inside
❀
Maybe there the walls
Were around us
Not between us
❀
Maybe in some other universe
Fate favoured us instead
Of condemning us
Maybe there
You were able
To be soft with me
Not in rare moments
But in all the moments
❀
Maybe in another galaxy
I am not silently mourning you
Writing eulogies and swallowing them
Watching them get stuck in my throat
Maybe there my love is loud
Not something to be swept
Under a rug
❀
Maybe somewhere
I am not only
Allowed to be happy
But permitted happiness
With you, my love
❀❀❀❀❀

Oh this resonated with me! This felt like secret love which is all too common when growing up LGBT! Brilliantly written - I feel the longing in my chest!
May be "With you, my love" Repetition of "May be" is poetic!
In terms of lines I am very agree with Angie below! Lovely!
Poignant poem… my favourite lines are: “Maybe there the walls Were around us Not between us”👍🏼
So sad - well done🫶🏻🫶🏻Maybe… some day…💓
