What if I told you a love story without a happy ending My early demise What if I told you that love was the most beautiful yet the most fragile flower to behold your mortal eyes However a rose has its thorns and those thorns drew blood What if I was elegant and vibrant What if what I had in store was enough For that vicious ego of yours That ego that left scars on my heart That ego that left tears on my pillow That ego made me feel like leaping out this very window What if my face was a mirror, would you finally see How unfaithful and demeaning you were to me I gave you my all and kiss the earth you walked upon Yet you have no love for me in that hollow shell of yours What if I opened my ears and listened to the truth instead of your lies Would I still feel this cold emptiness inside? What if I told you that I wasn’t a damsel in distress yet a vulnerable to the guise What if I indefinitely closed these dark brown eyes Would you even remember my name my love? Would you even cry? What if you could feel a fraction of the pain and hatred you cause my soul to endure inside I assure you that you will inevitably die, for that shear agony of all my sleepless nights What if you hadn’t hurt this lost boy hastening his eventual death Would he have closed his eyes? Would the thought of love make him cry? Would he have died? Would he be the monster of the night ? What if he never met her? Would that lost boy still be alive ? ​

"What If" a letter from the Lost Boy in the Tragic Confusion of a Beautiful World
What if I told you a love story without a happy ending My early demise What if I told you that love was the most beautiful yet the most fragile flower to behold your mortal eyes However a rose has its thorns and those thorns drew blood What if I was elegant and vibrant What if what I had in store was enough For that vicious ego of yours That ego that left scars on my heart That ego that left tears on my pillow That ego made me feel like leaping out this very window What if my face was a mirror, would you finally see How unfaithful and demeaning you were to me I gave you my all and kiss the earth you walked upon Yet you have no love for me in that hollow shell of yours What if I opened my ears and listened to the truth instead of your lies Would I still feel this cold emptiness inside? What if I told you that I wasn’t a damsel in distress yet a vulnerable to the guise What if I indefinitely closed these dark brown eyes Would you even remember my name my love? Would you even cry? What if you could feel a fraction of the pain and hatred you cause my soul to endure inside I assure you that you will inevitably die, for that shear agony of all my sleepless nights What if you hadn’t hurt this lost boy hastening his eventual death Would he have closed his eyes? Would the thought of love make him cry? Would he have died? Would he be the monster of the night ? What if he never met her? Would that lost boy still be alive ? ​
