• So many what if’s
    If what did not happen

    Then why? Why did she
    Take the shortcut

    That cut short her life?
    Or was it that SUV or

    A knife called Fate?
    The only one I loved.

    I hate people now.

    I say, “Leave me alone” but
    Alone leaves me

    Surrounded by “friends” and
    “family” stranding me with

    “care” packages.
    I wish the what if

    Replaced her with me.
