Suppose
By Ld Marduk
Suppose I said…’I loved thee,’Would thou understand,Would thou know the truth of it,Even comprehend?For oft I have considered,What the consequence….Of my actions could but be,In such a circumstance—Suppose I said…’I long to hold thee,’In a fond embrace,Would thou find such too obtuse,And I…but a disgrace?Suppose I said…My heart were thine,Now…and ‘evermore,Would thou find it but in thine,To believe…for sure—Suppose I said…that all was true,Would thou think me but a fool,Would it be…a waste of time,For me to speak what is on my mind?I suppose, such but could be,For though I’ve often… Sought to tell thee,As yet, thou dost not know—For though I have considered,What the consequence….Of my actions could but be,In such a circumstance—I have yet to find the words,And[of course]the courage,To voice the feelings that I have,When such art but of thee—For, suppose such came to be,And thou believed me not,What then would my choices be,Alas, not quite a lot—So just suppose…hypothetically,That I sought, my dear, to kiss thee,Would thou grant this wish of mine,This emote…of affection?
