If love should fail

Poem written on love possibly coming to an end

IF LOVE SHOULD FAIL,

AT A TIME I NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD,

IF OUR LOVE SHOULD END,

AT A PLACE NO ONE THOUGHT IT WOULD,

IF YOU HATE ME,

SOMETHING YOUR HEART THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T DO,

IF YOU LIE TO ME,

AND NO LONGER KNOW THE TRUTH,

IF I SHOULD SMILE,

YET YOU KNOW THE DEPTH OF MY PAIN,

IF I SHOULD LOSE IT ALL,

AND IN THE END ITS MISERY I GAIN,

IF YOU SHOULD TOUCH ME,

AND FEEL A DISTANCE IN MY VEINS,

IF LOVE SHOULD FAIL,

AND WE SUDDENLY COME TO AN END....

IF LOVE SHOULD FAIL,

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

IT WILL BE SAFE TO SAY, LOVE WAS NEVER THERE.
