Or



Would you give me,
The spring I craved ?
Or,
Would you give me,
A dead leaves bed?

Would you show me,
The scars of moon?
Or,
Would see my flaws,
And tear me up soon?

Would you gaze at,
The tides with it's highs and lows?
Or,
Would you again stab my soul,
With words , until the blood flows?

Would you give me,
The rainbow I had seen?
Or,
Would you again throw me into the darkness,
I always had been..?
