If You Knew

If you knew what I went through everyday,
Would you do all the things you do now?
If you knew what I was like on the inside,
Would you slowly kill me like you have been?
If you knew what happened,
Would you hurt me like you do?
If you knew what it was like to be me,
Would you cry for me or die for me?
If you knew I wanted to die,
Would you stop me?
If you knew that I was getting hit,
Would you stop it or let it continue?
If you knew how much I cried,
Would you comfort me?
If you knew how much I loved you,
Would you love me back?
If you knew how much I cared for you?
Would you care for me too?
If you knew I would take a bullet for you,
Would you do the same for me?
If you knew I knew too much about you,
Would you kill me?
If you knew that the pain you cause me is severe,
Would you stop causing the pain?
If you knew my heart was yours,
Would you try to break it?
If you knew my world was filled with darkness,
Would you show me to the light?
If you knew that I was dead,
Would you kill yourself?
I want to know all these things because I would do all of this for you.

A sad, but good poem.
It's amazing that one human being can do all this for another,
and even more amazing that one can ignore it and not be willing to do all this for the one who would do so for them.
You'll find that someone who will make your world and never hurt you.
There are some good guys out there, and they'll find you.

I can feel how this poem is straight from the heart... very emotional. It shows how love can be like a two-sided coin, you may feel that the person is the world to you but you end up thinking would the same person have hurt me the way he has if he could only understand. Great write

This is really good... Heartfelt... I like the way its made up of questions. Especially being that they're ones I would wonder about. Very nicely done.

Your poetry really speaks volumes. I loved the rhythm and pace of this poem, it was long but kept me reading. Sad, but beautiful all the same. Love is often painful and sad, but it can be happy and beautiful as well, and this poem really captures that truth. I liked the repetitive questions too, this was a great write!

This poem spoke to me, in various ways. Excellent work. Keep writing, you're good at it :)

It's sad but at the same time shows love because of that last line but very often love itself is sad. There were a lot of emotions behind this, and the questions you ask are universal, everyone would like to know the answers to them. Just keep your head up and don't worry about finding a guy that would be the answer to all of these questions, because when you're not looking is when you find someone. Good write. :)
