If I Go

By Samreen Fatima

If I go
Quietly
Take me with you

If I vanish
Mysteriously
Find me in you

If I succumb
Painfully
Heal me for you

If I fade
Dimly
Rekindle me beside you

If I surrender
Knowingly
Trust me behind you

If I finish
Completely
Bury me beneath you

If I pass
Fearlessly
Raise me above you
