If Only Ashes Remained, Would You Still Stand by Me?
I am haunted by memories that I can't forget;
I am consumed by my regret.
How can you enjoy smiles, laughing, kisses, and such
When you have seen far too much?
How can you be full when you have been bled dry?
How can you live when you've seen others die?
How do you know how far you fell
The moment you walked right into hell?
Look at me, an empty shell
Walking around in a living hell.
If you're going to stay, I must tell you
What exactly you are getting into.
It's okay if you don't believe me
You are blessed so that your will is free.
If in hell I couldn't stand
Would you reach out and take my hand?
Even when I fall apart,
Would you be there to hold my heart?
When my heart shatters and breaks
Would you think that being with me is a mistake?
Even if I'm a mistake cause I can't save my self
Will you be there if I can't be helped?
If I want to let the wind blow me away,
Would you follow me all the way?
If I am haunted by my past,
Would you stay for as long as the nightmares last?
Even if my friends I must deceive,
Would you hold tight and never leave?
Could you love a real spy
When he is paid to cheat and lie?
What if I lose my mind
Would you still be good and kind?
Even if I want to give up
Would you hold my chin up?
If I caved in to anger and hate
Would you be willing to give me a clean slate?
Even if I am too far gone
Would you still try to help me hold on?
Even when I'm empty and hollow,
In my grief, would you let me wallow?
If I break down and cry
Would you wipe my tears dry?
How can you love a broken man
Who on his own, cannot stand?
If there was no good in me that I could see,
If only ashes remained, would you still stand by me?
A/N. Yeah, I don't know what happened with this. I started writing it, and it kinda just ran away from me. Anyway, this is what I could see Alex writing or thinking to/about a girl he loves. Please review and let me know what you think.
