If those pills had worked..

You:
Wouldn’t have had that nine month ordeal.

I:
Wouldn’t have breathed, screamed, thrashed, kicked, and lived.

He:
Wouldn’t have had another reason to hate, to run away.

They:
Wouldn’t have bothered, just the way they are now.

The world:
Wouldn’t have been so unforgiving; you would have had another chance.

I:
Am glad they didn’t work, and that I came to be, to live the life,

You:
gave me; the world you showed me; the man I am today, because of you.

He:
Will never know what he missed; what we could have been; his loss.

They:
Have no power over what we are, or will be; bless them.

The world:
Will see us walk, hand in hand, till the very end.

This is my third poem for Robert Lee Brewer's April PAD 2011 Challenge. Prompt: Day 3 - "Imagine a world without you" poem.

I don't know what to call this form, but it is a form. :P

  3. I REALLY like this form idea. Very creative. Also, has not taken away from the poem or prompt, that's what makes it special.
