If I...



If I cried would you wipe my tears away
If I screamed would you fight my fears back to hell
If I asked would you answer to soothe my soul
If I closed my eyes would you see the darkness with me
If I breathed sharply would you taste the flames of sorrow beside me
If I called your name would you run for me
If I reached out would you feel the ice of my emotions
If I licked my lips would you taste the blood like I do
If I lay on the grave of my hopes would you smell the hatred
If I smiled would you question its sadness
If I lied to you would you forgive me with all you can
If I said goodbye would you stay anyway
If I revieled how empty I was would you fill me
If I bled my heart out would you cherish it
If I stood beside you would you stand firm
If I told you I had secrets would you search for reason
If I was blinded to love would you help me see
If I was wrong would you help me to be right
If I gave in would you hold on for my sake
If I fought back tears would you fight with me
If I fell would you help me back to my feet
If I walked down the wrong road by choice would you walk with me
If I broke your heart would you trust me to mend it
If I was cold would you hold me till I was warm
If I whispered what you wanted to hear would you beg for the truth
If I trembled would you hold me steady
If I said I love you could you say it back with no hesitation..?
