If I Fall Asleep | A soulful Nostalgic Poem

This video is about the agonizing paradox of grief explored in the original poem, "If I Fall Asleep." Featured as part of the If & When (Poetry) collection, this poem presents the fragile boundary between the comforting illusion of dreams and the devastating reality of morning. It speaks of the quiet cruelty of losing a loved one twice in a single day, first in reality, and then in the sudden shattering of a dream. If you are navigating grief, longing, or the heavy weight of painful nostalgia, may these words offer a gentle space to honor what you carry. #spokenwordpoetry #griefpoetry #sadpoetry #emotionalpoetry #originalpoetry About LitCritica: Welcome to LitCritica, a platform for poetry, fiction, research, and literary criticism.
