If
You should ever
Need: a friend,
A sister
Or a stranger
To listen
To your thoughts
When you're: frightened,
Worried
Or Lonely
I'll be there
I'll be where
I always was
And where we used to be
Just a short poem, inspired by the poem If I Should Die Before You Do by Richard Brautigan, I was intrigued by the structure of his poetry and thought it would be fun to try and mimic this style. His work appears to flow in a rigid way like human speech, stumbling through the words as if the reader is almost afraid of what they are saying.
