If I Were Your Love

I imagine if I were your love The change in me I'd see As I waltzed around Being an adorated me Would I quit the shame Forget the narrative I keep As I waltzed around Knowing beauty not skin deep I imagine if I were your love How cherished I'd be As I waltzed around Feeling loved and care free Would the pain leave my chest Maybe find no cause to weep As I waltzed around No longer in waking sleep I imagine if I were your love My future I'd at last foresee As I waltzed around With my own devotee Would the doubts leave my mind Allow comforting thoughts to in seep As I waltzed around Gathering in all I wish to reap I imagine if I were your love I'd see myself through your eyes Feel reassured that in the past My mind had just told me lies If I Were Your Love Poetry Contest 19th April 2023 Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose
