What if?
What if my heart sped with aching beats?
What if your love was an uttered speech?
What if I died to save your life?
Would it be a type of strife?
What if I proclaimed my love for you?
Would your lips, soft and lovely, move for my every beck and call?
What if you said no?
It would be like placing a sharp knife against my throat.
So dull and lonely I sit and cry for a touch, a lingering echo of your voice,
What if bodies said yes but the mind said no,
What if?
I see blood all around, the tears streaming down my face,
Everything is done now.
You do not have to choose my love anymore,
What if you said you love me too?
Would this trouble be a waste?
It’s way too late darkness has come,
I want to turn back, what if you said yes?
What if?
Nice images and word choice. Suggestions:
