Maybe Enough

by Lacy D Phillips

I could sit just like this,

eyes flaming,

long past midnight.

And dream those words,

twist them around me,

and think

of Maybe.

 

Why did I waste

all the beautiful things

you used to say?

They are gone

since you’ve moved on.

Lost to me,

from memory.

Unsaved.

 

It wasn’t love,

after all.

After the fall.

I lived you.

And that was,

in the past tense,

Enough.

That is good poetry. I am especially fond of the last stanza. Lovely.
