What if?
What if
this is hell and what if
our minds protect us from
nightmares that gnash at
whatever keeps us sane?
What if
our dreams keep us safe from
the reality we cannot bear and
if our nightmares are real and
our minds snap over and over
under the weight of our terror?
What if
our name is not our name
and we are lost forever in
this dark and horrible place and
our thoughts are not straight but
we think they are to keep us safe?
What if
the love ones we hold dear are
a small fraction of those left
and we've forgotten the others and
they are lost too, but we don't know who
we are looking for and they need us?
Who will care for those lost souls of the abyss?
I will, she said,
and I wept.
