what if?

by Antwan Fields - Aries

if i called you an enemy and the friend was the same
would i lie or would that be game
if i was honest and didn't lie
would you wish life upon me or would i die
would you wash me down and dry me out
or would i say i loved you and you'd doubt?
what if i said that you were alone?
what if i thought you could not be shown?
what if i went off and we weren't pals
what if i talked to you with nothing but growls?
i calm you down, try to make you think
but i fail at my job and my heart sinks
im trying to make you understand
that youre my friend, i wanna hold your hand
i wish that in the picture that we took
that you didn't look sad or look so shook
it comes to mind that you're very mad
so i start to argue cause i feel bad
what if i thought that you weren't listening?
what if you looked and my eyes were glistening?
what if for us there was no turning back?
what if i thought that our friendship was wack?
and all the world is a dancer
no way to think they have an answer
they like to think they've done all right
they all seemed to have lost sight
answer all of your Q&A
nothing to do and none to say
its time to scrape away the mud
but all we find is our mingled blood
all the world gives a good sigh
at the same time, they have a good cry
what if i was your only friend?
what if i was at your hand at the end?
what if you could understand my growing fear?
what if we refused to talk into our ears?
what if i called for the lie of my eye?
what if we're not in the same place when we die??
what if, what if, what if, what if, what if I...
what if, what if, what if, what if I...
what if, what if, what if, what if I... 
what if, what if, what if, what if I...
wasn't your friend?

Reason for writing:

    with most of my poems, i get a song's music in my head. i don't plagerize the songs, the beat is just when i think a poem should be written a certain way. like for example, the
poem above is written to Creed's "What If?" (from scream 3).
however, ALMOST ALL of my poetry is for real.
95% actually happened
