If I gave you the full moon
wrapped tightly with a bow
would it make you stay,
or would you still want to go?

If I gave you a kiss
and proclaimed my love
would it make you stay,
or fly away like a dove?

if I gave you a house
a beautiful chateau
would it make you stay,
or change the status quo?

If I gave you ring
and made you my wife
would it make you stay,
or just walk out of my life?

If I gave you a child
could this be reconciled
would it make you stay,
or at least feel beguiled?

If I gave you my all
and it was 100 percent
would it make you stay,
or still be discontent?

If I commit suicide
what if I killed myself
would wish you did stay,
or be quick to find someone else?

If you have a shift in paradigm
as you stand beside my tomb
would it make you stay,
one last time,
benign,
beneath your full moon?
