If You Were
If You Were If you were a tear I'd cry you away Then gaily go about my day. If you were a thorn, I'd pluck you out Then wipe blood's drop and sigh aloud. If you were a tree I'd chop you down Then plant a seedling in your ground. If you were an ache I'd take a pill, Then feel relief and sleep so still. If you were a nightmare I'd wake and peep Reassure myself, then back to sleep. If you were a simple thing I'd let you go.... Forgive, forget, and finally go. But you are a man And I am your mate. One can't walk out When bound by fate. ~ P.S. Colley
