If I wrote you a poem today <br />Would you read it or throw it away? <br />Would you know it was from the heart <br />Or be speechless with no place to start? <br />Would you take it all wrong <br />Or think that it was way too long? <br />Too many words to tell how I think <br />Never knowing when I'm on the brink <br />Edging on sadness, anger and hate <br />Not ready to win this everlasting debate <br />If I wrote you a poem right now <br />Would you read it or try to avoid it somehow? <br />Would you decide you don't have the time <br />To get lost in a page with a rhyme? <br />Or would you bite your tongue and sit? <br />Take a time out for a bit <br />To let me know you care <br />And that you'll always be there <br />If I wrote you a poem today <br />I know you'd read it right away.<br /><br />Amy Lynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-wrote-you-a-poem/
