Damn that Dream

Prolific it was
After all those years I worked to avoid you  
At the time how could I know
How much I would try to fit into your world  
How much I would cry  
How worldly you would become  
I struggled to understand your bruises  
Your scars proved our distance  
Not knowing until it was too late  
That you would categorize me  
The same way you did those after me  
My possibilities  
Not enough to save you  
I wondered about all the great what if’s  
What if I moved in  
What if we married  
What if our life was grand  
What if I didn’t lose my memories  
What if I didn’t succumb to darkness  
What if I had not failed us both  
What if I never had that dream  
How after traveling this far  
Could we be strangers
