but even if i cry, would it make a change?

even if i die, would it save me for the rest of today?

and if i tried, could i take everything back to okay?

it’s too late to come home, anyway.

The author's comments:

More Kylo poetry. I'm internally screaming.

 

[Note-yes, that's a reference to the lines "Come home" and "It's too late" from the movie.]

Thank you for commenting! I'm trying to write longer poems, but I feel like I just can't get the meaning to stick around ;~;
