Would You? Poem by Crimson Haze

Would You?

Rating: 5.0


If I held out my hand,
would you take it?

If I gave you my heart,
would you break it?

If my life was in danger,
and you were the only person who could help...
would me save me?
Or would you allow me to die,
oh so painfully.

Now I will tell you.

If you held out your hand,
I would take it.

If you gave me your heart,
I would go to any length to make sure I didn't break it.

And if you were in danger,
I would not only save you,
but I would kill whom ever it was that put you in danger,
I would take your pain away,
and not allow myself to cry for the pain I have taken from you,
but to cry in fear that I will not be able to take all of your pain away.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I am honoured to be the first to comment on this lovely rhetorical poem. This is a real 'cri de coeur' to be loved. I score it ten for its elegant structure and poignant content. V 1 & 2 Yes Crimson - I would take your hand - and I wouldn't break your heart. V 3 Yes - if you were in any sort of Danger I would always try to save you. Because (V 8) I know you would do the same for me - because you are lovely. There is a truth in your last line. I know - from many years experience - that we can never absorb all the pain in someone elses heart - but the pain we do absorb makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing - Love you in Poetry - JOHN X
