Loop 42

by Elizabeth Seago

We were always a rollercoaster,
You and I.
Loops racing around

Shouldn'ts
and
Maybe's.

Could have been's
and
Maybe we shouldn't be here's.

Oh, and I was always so sure of you.
Too sure, too sure.
My body warm beside you,
And all we couldn't bring ourselves to be.

...'bring ourselves to be.' existential yet usual, regular, humans being human...heavy, charlie

Beautiful. Love the "Shouldn'ts and Maybe's. Could have been's and Maybe we shouldn't be here's." segment especially. Very nicely done!
