Would You . .
If I told you of my pain, would you care
Would you understand and tell me you love me too
Or would you turn and walk away
If I wrote to you and spoke of my broken soul
Would you cry and whisper to me in the night
Or would you shake your head and leave me
If I told you of my hurt and where and when it was born
Would you feel the same way and tell me so
Or would you turn away and leave me behind
If I wrote to you and explained all my confusion
Would you understand and tell me its all going to be okay
Or would you throw me away like a . . . forlorn dream
If I screamed out all of my pain at losing you
Would you write to me and tell me you’ll stay instead
Or would you cut away all our ties
If I stood before you and reached out my hand
Would you take it
Or would you leave it empty and cry no more for me
If I told you I love you and have since . . .
Would you believe in me still
Or see me now as a . . . façade of a lingered wish
If I whispered to you from your side of my soul’s . . .
Would you breathe of how much you care deeply for me once more
Or would you really tear me from your life
Would you . . .
Would you . . .
Will you . . .
