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
