If You Saw
if i was to let you see
and take that leap of faith
if i was to ever drop
these thick black curtains of mine
the reveal, right before you
would you still love me?
if you were to throw them open
and you saw my blackened soul
if you were to grasp the things beyond
these feelings, locked away for eons
the golden key right in your hand
would you still love me?
if our love has lasted through the years
and never faltered once
if our strength were to fail now
these fates of ours, red strings intertwined
the scissor blades glinting above
would you still love me?
if you saw beyond my walls, then,
and if you didn’t leave me here
or if i said i could change, for you
this uncrossable distance, would it waver?
would you cross it for me?
would you still love me?
