ifs

If there was a day I could not see you

I’d rather face it eyes wide shut

for if I can’t see you

I don’t want to see anything at all.

If someday I’m damned to lose you

I will give up everything I own

for if I can’t have you

I don’t want to have anything at all.

And if someday you stop saying you love me

I will cover my ears with my hands

for if I can’t hear those words

there is nothing left for me to hear.
