If death were but a dream come true

If death were but a dream come true
Then die that death I would;
For life holds naught for me to do
But death less than it should.

 

If hope were all it’s dreamt to be
Then hope, I hope I could.
But hope is dreams I've yet to see -
In life there's no hope that would.

 

If love could feel the dreams I had
And hope their touch embrace,
Then I’d depart this life not sad,
Without the chill of hopes disgrace.

 

If with if's my dreams came true
Then life would not end here.
But 'ifs' never did what work could do
And my dreams died in fear.
