Although it has been a very long time since I have done so, I used to write quite frequently. I decided today I would like to share one of my pieces. The funny thing about this piece is that it took about 2 years to complete; I could never figure out the perfect ending for it. So without further adieu (spelling?), I give you...
If...
If I wrote the perfect song, would you hear it?
From where you are, would it reach your ears
and kiss you on your soul?
Would your heart begin to smile or melt away in tears?
If my time was short, would you have time to care?
Would you mourn for me, or dance upon my sorrow?
Reminisce about the days of old, or push me out,
to the bitter cold?
If I touched your skin, would you feel it?
Would it warm your face and caress your heart?
would you drift away inside my arms,
or sink and drown in vindictive fit?
If we stood together face to face,
Would we see what time has done?
Would we embrace with joy, forgotten friends,
or embrace an end, to justify our means?
