What Might Have Been

I cant stop but think

What might have been

In an alternate world



I wonder what might have been

If you offered me your soul

In exchange for mine



What will I do

Under such perilous situation

With someone else still behind me?



Peace is something you will readily sacrifice

For your own flesh, but I am not your flesh

I am afraid to be



You could never stop talking

Nasty connotations

And intermediate threats



I wonder what might have been,

If you had allowed me to raise you

And let myself in



Honey, I am really sorry

But all that I can remember now

Is your red face set against the white floor



Even now I still wonder what might have been

It could have been worse,

If you know what I mean
