WHAT IF
What If
What if I shall not wait?
What must I do if I need to get
Past you ?
What if I burst the fleshly gate
And pass, escaped, what would
You say to make me look your way ?
What if I file this mortal off me and
Let you see how much I loved you
See where it hurts me,
Would that be enough for you to believe
You hurt me and I loved you so ,
I want let you see me cry ,
No you cannot make me show my face ,
My voice I write on paper ,
To let out all my pain ,
Oh hear comes the rain ,
As laughter was like years ago,
My traveling shows how old I become
With my heart on the run ,
It was as if I died yesterday!
And yesterday is already dead and gone .
And my heart still bleeds on .
