As if I didn’t already know <br />As if I didn’t feel the blow <br /> <br />As if my heart is bleeding now <br />As if I’m hurt by our spiteful row <br /> <br />As if I am cold and tired <br />As if I am lost, no place to hide <br /> <br />As if I could believe in you <br />As if all I do is true <br /> <br />As if I can always be <br />All you ever ask of me <br /> <br />“As if” is what you say <br />When I say the same each day <br /> <br />As if you really care <br />As if I am really there <br /> <br />“As if” is all I could say <br />When you and me fell out today <br /> <br />As if I am this man you see <br />As if I am just this small me <br /> <br />As if it is real anyway <br />If as one we could watch each day <br /> <br />As if we’re on a universal stage <br />Playing out these parts so grave. <br /> <br />“As if” is what I say <br />If I can play my part <br />Just like I might as in a play.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-as/
