if i found it in me
if i travelled to the depths of my humanity
and carved out a fragment of my soul
and wrapped it up in shiny paper
would you grant me a favor
would you take it

if i held your hand smiling
if you then followed me blindly
and i lit a pathway
and the flicker cast shadows on the wall
would you stay or would you crawl
would you let go

if you remained at my side
if i spoke of all the nights i've cried
and you fixed your gaze on your feet
and in your eyes was fear
would you whisper in my ear
would you tell me you still loved me
