What Would You Do?

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

If I poured my heart out
Would you open up
And fill the empty space with the love I have to give
Would you bask in the divinity of the preciousness I release
Would all of your feelings cease?
Or would they even show at least?
Would you smile upon the gift bequeath to you?
Tell me what would you do

Would you nourish it?
Flourish it?
Would you cherish the warmth and respect the power?
Water it like a flower?
Let it blossom and grow?
Would you go with the flow?
If I poured my heart out to you, what would you do?

If I revealed my naked soul
Would you be afraid to open you eyes and see the real me?
Would you be afraid of what you'd see?
Would you release you senses wholeheartedly?
Would you understand my whole world with empathy?
Would you sniff out my fears?
Wipe away my tears?
Shift my gears?
Embrace my reality?
Would you have a clue of the woman who stood before you?
If I revealed my naked soul to you, what would you do?

If I liquified my thoughts and poured them into a glass
Would you still think I had class
Would you drink?
Would you still see me as the same person?
What exactly would you think?
Would you drink these thoughts to quench your thirst?
Would you put me on a pedalstal?
Would you put me first?

If I put my love on a plate, would you eat?
Would you treat it as garbage or see it as a treat?
Would it satisfy your hunger for something in your life?
Would you come back for seconds?
Would you come back more than twice?
If I liquified or fed my thoughts to you, what would you do?

With all the things I would do
Would you reciprocate my actions?
Would you strive to give me 100% satisfaction?
Would I actually have to step outside of me
Just for you to give me reciprocity?
Would it be tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye?
Would you feel my pain if I cry?
Would you open your ears to hear my plea?
Would you be my eyes if I couldn't see?
With all the things I'd do, what would you do in return?
Would you be ready and willing?
Have the patience to learn
About all the small things that make me smile?
Would you go out of your way for me once in a while?
With all I have to offer you
What would you do?
