Maybe

Maybe someday

I can forget “maybe”

Forget half-hearted promises

delivered with coy smiles

Maybe yes

Maybe no

Maybe

Maybe I won’t

Maybe I don’t

Maybe I can’t

file cold memories away

in secure vaults

buried deep in sterile earth

Maybe

Maybe I will

remember broken years

with kindness someday

Maybe

Maybe so

So long ago

you packed your bags

and slipped unseen

into shadowed night

leaving maybe lingering

in cob-webbed corners

on my mind

Maybe

Maybe I should

Maybe I can

Maybe I will

take flight after all

A bird on the wind

soaring above the clouds

leaving broken promises below

Maybe
