If
if I sat
in the cold dark silence
if I waited
for a breath upon my ear
if I cried
for the millionth time
would it matter?
make a difference?
when we speak
when words become the time
when we seek
the answers we try to find
if I walked
two more miles
if I was
among the mild
if I had to be
if I had to be
if I say
if I waited
if I tried
if I contemplated
if what they tell me
is true
when the words
keep you through
if you die
if you wake
if I sit in here
cold dark bold
cold dark room
if I waited
for a breath upon my ear
if I could
if I could stay here...
