What If

what if I
didn’t matter-
would you 
think about me 
not here-
or if I
didn’t exist-
ever never,
would you 
shed a tear
what if I were
a mess-
would you
comb my hair
or if we
were in love-
would you
whisper in
my ear
what if I
were hurt-
would you 
say a prayer
or if I didn’t 
come home-
would that
give you 
a scare
what if I
were injured
would you
be in despair,
or if I 
got you upset-
would that make
you swear
what if I
were tired-
would you give
me a chair
or if I were
on the 
other side-
would you give 
me a stare
what if
I were homeless-
would you
give me some 
socks to wear
or if I already
had one-
could I 
make a pair
what if I
had no money-
would you help
pay my fare
what if I
were hungry-
would you share,
or if I wanted
a steak-
would you 
make it rare
what if I ate 
too much-
would you give
me a glare
or if I
were round-
could you
make me square
what if I
had a flat-
would you
have a spare
or if
I got lost-
would you
send up 
a flare
what if I 
fainted-
would you
give me 
some air
or if I
were Abe Lincoln-
would I 
use foursquare
what if I
were a baby-
would I want my
teddy bear
or if I cheated-
in a game
would you 
say I’m unfair
what if I
danced-
would you
call me 
Fred Astaire,
or if I 
were a fruit-
could I be 
a pair,
what if I 
hit the lotto-
would that make
me a millionaire
maybe so 
or even
a billionaire
what if 
that happened-
would I 
be debonair
or if I had
a deck of cards-
could I play solitaire
what if I 
were santa-
could I have
a rein deer
or downhill skier-
would I take
that dare
what if I
were just me-
would you 
even care.
