What If...

If I felt your glance, & time stopped in a stare

If we spoke with our eyes, the only ones aware

And we touched like a breeze or a gentle sigh

Locked in that moment while the world passed us by

If we said everything that we wanted to say

And we screamed in delight as the flesh tore away

If we tore out our eyes to begin to see

If we broke the bones of our cages to be free

If our pain and frustration ran like rivers of blood

Damnable doubt washed away in that flood

And life was the same for those constantly judging

Those sad and lost, hopelessly begrudging

What if our very essence was all that remained

Entwined in that moment with no other hearts maimed

...Would you look away?
