If You Knew - NaPoWriMo Day 4

Prompt - A Sad Poem

If You Knew

If you knew,
Would you talk to me more carefully?
Avoid future conversations?
Avoid me all together?
I would understand.  I get it.

If you knew,
Would you cry?
Ask me to tell you more?
Want to know every little detail?
Would you compare your grief to mine?
I'd win, I promise.

If you knew,
Would you hug me tight?
Let the silence be?
Wait for me?

This is the problem with
Inexplicable sadness.
Overwhelming grief.
Unfathomable heartbreak.
When you know it
You can never stop knowing.
