Perspective: To Hope

Disclaimer: don't own it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

If you told me yesterday I'd fall in love with you

I would have laughed.

If you tell me tomorrow you've found someone else

I might cry

But if you tell me now how you feel

Maybe I'll stay

If you show me now your emotions

Maybe I'll wait

If I died tomorrow

Would you cry?

If I fell prey to disease

Would you be there by my side?

If I was more beautiful

Would you see me?

If I had more personality

Would you love me?

If I told you I loved you once upon a time

Would you laugh at me?

If I tried harder to speak to you

Would you notice?

If I gave up my world for you

Would you share yours?

But in the end, maybe I'm just dreaming

In the end, I'm always the evil one

In the end, I'm the one with no emotions

In the end, I'm the one who's not supposed to feel pain

But the stars don't always tell the truth

And the tide sometimes changes

The sun doesn't always shine so brightly

And sometimes, the moon gives off the guiding light

Maybe I'm the one who wants to change

Maybe I'm the one who can't      

Maybe I'm the one who loves you

Yet who can tell?

Who can piece together

Those shattered shards

Of my past

Of my life

So sometimes I wonder

Am I the one in power?

Or the one controlled?

Am I the one being strong?

Or the one who's helpless?

Am I the one leaving?

Or the one left behind?

There's never an answer

So tell me…

What is my hope?
