What If...

What if I wanted

My very own prince

One without a brick wall

Or a barbed wire fence

To keep me locked out and

At the same time locked in

I ask you now

What would you say then?

Would you still hold on-

Still sing me to sleep

Still make me smile and laugh

So I wouldn’t weep?

Or would you just laugh,

Walk away, shake your head

Appalled over all

That I had just said-

That I thought I could have you

Know you inside and out

Be able to trust you

Without a shadow of a doubt.

What if I wanted

My very own prince

One without a brick wall

Or a barbed wire fence.

[Revery]

Interesting and intriguing. Your meaning is slightly cryptic but alluringly so. A enjoyed it and got drawn in. Nice.

Would a prayer of such a dream
Be anything else but pure?
To want nothing less than a truer love
Than one that was forced to endure?

What if it was possible
To see past the rain and see the stars
To see past the lightning and through the clouds
And find out that love like that really isn't far?

Arms to hold you and keep you
While the hands will freely let go
Not out of want, pity, insecurity or spite
Just because, it is when, they know

Lips to sing and embrace with
To not scorn but guide and soothe
To whisper and laugh until the day cools
And warm the night for a lover's muse

The search is not far
Nor is the road to long
Just be still and close yourself to silence
And listen to your heart sing its lovely song.
