Maybe, Cassidy Shay [the snowy day read aloud TXT] 📗

The world’s gone cold
I know now
What it’s like
To see someone you love
Suffer this fate
I can wish and hope
And I can pray
I don’t know what it will do
Will it save you?
Maybe.
Will it keep you alive?
Maybe.
But if it doesn’t?
I don’t want to live
In a world where
Your joy and your smile
Are no longer there
Your passion for your faith
And family and sports
Your funny stories
Our strange memories
Will I ever hear your voice?
Maybe.
Will I get to see you smile?
Maybe.
But if I don’t?
I feel numb
Except for the fear
Creeping into my bones
My muscles and cells
The fear of a world
Without you there
It’d be dark
With no sun shining
Cold and dark
No reason to carry on
Will I be able to smile?
Maybe.
Will I be able to laugh?
Maybe.
But if I can’t?
