if i felt a thing
would you still love me as i am

if i felt a thing
please don't run like i think you will

if i felt a thing
would i even admit how raw it was

if i felt a thing
would i even tell you how real it is

i cling to this
with as much of myself as i could dare

i am a heart that has been broken
every day of its life

and i feel to much
to say nothing at all

i am a poet
married to my words and woes and the wonders of the world

so please love me just as i am
the willow that weeps by the stream

I Love You
