If I Could, I Would Die

If I could, I would leave.
I would flee, I would feel.
I would run, I would grasp the black river by the soles of my feet and disappear.

If I could, I would live.
I would laugh, I would love.
I would take the tip of my tongue and run it along my teeth and burst open the bubbles of phonetic sounds and say
"I love you"
If I could.

If I could, I would learn.
I would teach, I would share.
I would drink the cerebral fluids of geniuses and absorb the knowledge that's leaked out through their age.

But if I could, I would not.
I can't, or I won't.
If I could, I would stop.
Laying here in the dark with the covers pulled over my head and my heart pounding to a rhythm I've found so familiar in my past- the rhythm of life, the rhythm of "Please just let me die".

I don't know if I can let you.
I don't know.
Why can't you take what I don't know?
Just take it, take it.
I can't take it.

I don't want to take it.
