WAR Poem: What If, by Luella Bellflower

Ever wonder what might have been
Wish you could play it all over again?
Press rewind and choose the alternate,
Door number two instead of your fate?
Regret, a whisper behind closed doors,
Yearning for something just a little bit more.
Is there a time machine made for this
Returning before that deciding first kiss.
A careless choice, a quiet ache,
The kind that keeps you wide awake.
Lying beside one, lost in another,
Haunted by the road not taken with the other.
