Us (for one moment)

thoughts of what was, what is, and what may be

By Savannah K. WilsonPublished 12 months ago 1 min read
a poem from the fear and anxiety voices inside

If only for one moment, one small fleeting second

I truly believed you actually wanted me

Nothing could ever stop me reaching you

I would burn the world for you and me to be

Us

If only for one moment, one small fleeting second

You truly felt for me the way I have for you

But I begin to feel, perhaps it was all just me

In my head, a fairy-tale saying you also wanted

Us

If only for one moment, one small fleeting second

I could find the courage and the words I need

To gather my feelings for you ... and burn them away

For in this moment, this one second, I see there may never be
