Analysis of If it was true love
If it was true love
Would you have stayed
Would you have wiped
The mascara stains
From my red rosey cheeks
It would it all just
Be the same ?
Would you have lied
Even more
Would you have thought
To ask
If I was okay
As you left
Because you saw
My scars
Heard the battles
I went though
I shave my skin
All the way
Down to my bones
Yet you did not know
You walk away
Like it was so easy
Like I was nothing to
You
But I grieve for you
Until they was nothing more
I could grieve of you
