If Only For Love Poem by Minnie Gehrig

</>
New words that stretch themselves across the distances,
touching all that is as falling stars do!
driving themselves downwards into the earth,
as i plunge into abysses unknown...

Black holes that swallow all of our yesterdays,
even as the sun reaches its arms out into tomorrows,
fading memories of love
bleeding from the wrists
of teen suicide attempts.........................

lips finding your kiss
as it is almost impossible,
as the heart gives up
and almost for a second ceases its beat
if only for love.....................................
