If we filmed all our lives, <br />Would people watch us as we cry, <br />Would people listen to our lies, <br />Would people sorrow as we die? <br />If our stories were to be told, <br />Would people let the stories unfold, <br />Would people notice us be so bold, <br />Would people love us as we grow? <br />If our lives were to intertwine, <br />Would people drink it as a wine, <br />Would people lurk as we shine, <br />Would people sit as we dine? <br />If we had a song to sing, <br />Would people listen to everything, <br />Would people know our love is like a ring, <br />Would people know you are my queen? <br />If we all had an undying love, <br />Would people let it fly like a dove, <br />Would people turn to the gods above, <br />Would people know of our true love? <br />If I had one thing to give, <br />Would people know your love is why I live, <br />Would people know the joy, to me, you give, <br />Would people know for your love I'd jump a cliff? <br />If you had one thing to take, <br />It would be my soul so great, <br />Now that people know my fate, <br />It is that my love for you came too late.<br /><br />Matthew Jenkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-truly-like-a-stage/
