simply entitled : IF I LEFT YOU

here's a love poem

if I left you
would you cast your days into shades of grey and black
if I left you
would you wonder if I ever thought of coming back
would you curse my name and curse the day I was born
curse the day that I arrived
and the promises I'd sworn
if I left you


if you left me
I think I know just exactly what I'd do
if you left me
I'd work out a hundred and ninety shades of blue
I'd jump into a bottle and swim till I died
I'd write the wretched  epitath
  that simply says  " I tried "
if you left me


if I left you
 would don the crown of anger upon your heart
if I left you
would you weave the yarns of vengeance into your art
would you deride the life of virtue with all of your friends
would you wear the wound of sorrow
the wound that never mends
if I left you

if you left me
I'd take to staring down the depths of dark
if you left me
no tellin' on what foolish journeys I might embark
my heart would surely falter I'd lose my voice
I'd choose the way of  emptiness
if I thought I had a choice
if  you left me
