A Woman's Heart

If I gave you but a piece of me 
would it be enough to last 
Could you hold that for eternity 
and let go your troubled past 

If you had but a glimpse of me 
would you keep it locked inside 
Mirage of your mind to balance reality 
A haven where your soul can hide 

If you were to touch me and feel the fire 
could it sustain the hunger that screams 
within the depths of your endless desire 
Could it be enough for me to exist only in your dreams 

If I was to pledge myself to you tonight 
could you see me as more than an apparition 
a specter that would fade with morning's light 
To lie within the arms of loves sweet recognition 

If I give you all of me, will you let me be 
Or would you mold me to your version of fantasy 
Within those moments you hold our destiny 
Take me as I am or forever set me free
