If I..... Poem by Gordon David

If I tell you a secret, will you tell me a lie?

If I said I was sorry, would you still say goodbye?

If I said that I loved you, could you still walk away?

If I knelt down before you, will you marry me today?

If I offered to change, could you change life as well?

If I showered you with roses, you’d complain that they smell?

If I stood naked before you would you want to understand?

If I could turn the clock back, should I have time on my hands?

If I lay down at your feet would you kick me on the head?

If I loaded the gun, could you shoot me dead?

If I gave you some space to let you catch your breath?

If I can’t be with you it will hasten my death
