If I Shall Love

If I can be given a choice of words I would use... ‘If I shall love’ They were read, but goes often unheard Yet my choice, belongs my worth Words meant only to me To simply mean different to you Explaining to yet a never be Those who know... Never knew As well your opinion I do not know No matter to ask... To only channel through my way Your words have you to unfold? My words though, I have already chosen to say Perhaps simply a quiet relief A subtleness to be weaken into Some heavy lightness in earnest to believe Yet a lightness too heavy for me... perhaps you ‘If I shall love’, these are my words Am I only to know my own’s worth? I read it aloud, but it goes unheard Like I said... If I shall love
