if i were to kiss you

if i were to kiss you

id kiss you with the weight of a thousand feathers

if i were to kiss you

id kiss you in the hidden corners 

of this all seeing prison

if i were to kiss you

id kiss you with my eyes closed

and my mind full of hope

yet i know i’ll never kiss you

not here

not now

not yet

i can’t kiss you

because our love is taboo

and we’re trapped

trapped together yet far apart

but, if i were to kiss you

id kiss you with the hope of acceptance

if i were to kiss you

i would kiss you to the sound of dreams

if i were to kiss you

id hope you’d kiss back

id hope you’d leave your fear behind

and if i were to kiss you

i would kiss you with a silent promise

a promise to help you

a promise to save you 

but alas

it’s only a dream

a dream i always wake from

because i cannot kiss you

but maybe if i were to kiss you 

then i would not wake up

and we would be free

no longer trapped

in this all seeing prison

oh, if i were to kiss you
