I Would Do it But can You Say You Will Do The Same

Santajah Douglass

Sometimes I wish there wasn't so much power in the words we say,

But alas, our words have the ability to shape our day.

They can bring joy or they can bring sorrow,

They can brighten up a bleak tomorrow.

 

I'm not afraid to use the power of words to express how I feel,

To let out the emotions that I sometimes conceal.

If I could rewind the clock and make sure the light defeated the dark,

I would choose to spend every hour of every day keeping you safe from harm.

 

But would you do the same for me,

Would you climb every mountain, swim every sea?

It's a daunting thought that lingers in my mind,

Wondering if our bond is truly one of a kind.

 

I guess it's easy to go the extra mile for those we hold dear,

But the fear of rejection is always near.

Not knowing if they would reciprocate the same care,

Leaves me feeling vulnerable and bare.

 

Even if I could rewind time and ensure the light prevails,

Would I still choose to spend my days tending to your trails?

Or is it all just a facade we create,

To mask the uncertainty and evade our fate.

 

The thought of losing you is a daunting one,

Yet I wonder if our bond can truly withstand the sun.

Will you be there to catch me when I fall,

Or will you turn away and ignore my call?

 

So as I grapple with these thoughts and fears,

I find solace in the power of my tears.

For even though words hold immense sway,

Sometimes it's the unspoken that truly convey.

 

In the silence, in the stillness of the night,

I find comfort in knowing that all will be alright.

For in the end, it's not the words we speak,

But the actions we take that truly make us unique.

 

So let us not be afraid to show our love,

To reach out a hand and rise above.

For in a world full of chaos and dismay,

Our act

ions will speak louder than words ever may.
