What If

by Cathy   May 8, 2007


What if I did all the things you do
would you still be around? would you stay true?
what if I went out every single night
would you be okay with it? would you be alright?

what if I sneaked around the house whispering on my phone
would you suspect something is going on here at home?
what if I told you things that hurt you inside
would you hold in your anger and swallow your pride?

what if you heard rumors that Ive been around
would you believe it if the evidence was found?
what if you found guys numbers hiding in my purse
would you be broken hearted? would you feel hurt?

what if I left you at home to take care of our kids
would you be mad and throw a fit?
what if I called you names and disrespected you all the time
would you want to leave or would you still be mine?

what if you were in my place
do you think maybe then you'd understand why the tears on my face
would you put up with it all or would you just leave?
If only you were In my place than maybe you would see

    Cathy,

    Powerful emotions have been fully let loose in your write. I like it very much, but if placed in a similar siyuation I would have added one more final closing stanza:

    What if I could not take anymore of all of the above?
    Should I pack my bags turn my back and walk away, leaving you would be best.
    See a lawyer and then he will see you, send you all the seperation papers!

    Great work.

    Best regards,

    Steve

    This poem manages to make such a powerful point which with it follows so much emotion. you just a have to take a step back and realise how strong you are. You dont need to put up with that treatment and you shouldnt. JUst keep your chin up.

    This piece breaks my heart. Seems like double standards. Very emotional and heartfelt writing.

    what if you were in my place
    do you think maybe then you'd understand why the tears on my face
    would you put up with it all or would you just leave?
    If only you were In my place than maybe you would see

    If only :(
    Take care your friend Cindy
