If I came up to you,
Would you say you loved me?
Or just laugh at me,
Because you thought it was funny.
If I grabbed your hand,
Wanting you to stay,
Would you turn the other way,
Without even a second glance.
If I made to kiss you,
Would you stop,
Or hold my head with your hands,
and utter the words that I long to hear.
If I walked out that door,
Would you stay silent,
Always thinking there is another chance?
But what if tomorrow I shall die?
Would you shrug it off,
and live another day?
Or would you fall to your knees,
Crying out your eyes?
Would you want to call me back,
Just to say all that needs to be said,
or would you grab my hand for one last dance.
And as I slowly fade away,
Forever to be gone,
You would just smile at me,
And make the worry scurry away.


Blah there is something I don't like about it now that I am reading it over. It seems to not flow very well. o.O I need to edit this, but not tonight gonk

i'm all about randomness in poetry, cuz i think it should be a jotting down, of sorts, of how you feel, what you see in life. so this is great! i want that kinda luv. i want someone to feel those things for me. don't change anything about this. it's strong as is...only...u might wanna fix the "silence" to "silent" in this line: "Would you stay silence,". other than that....this is a raw emotion, a quandry of the heart and mind....so i say it should stay without rythm or rhyme or structure.....of which it already has it's own. great job!!! 4laugh

I like this! It's powerful. :3
But I think it would help it if you said "If I reached to kiss you," rather than "If I made to kiss you." "Made" isn't a very strong word, and it doesn't make sense in that phrase.

There should be a question mark at the end of line 8. The sentence became so long I think you forgot to put that in at the end. xD Same goes for line 12 and line 23. Also at the end, it sounds weird because throughout the poem you ask questions, yet the end isn't a question. I suggest changing it so it IS a question. ("Would you" instead of "You would.")

I think near the end it doesn't flow as well. Maybe change "But what if tomorrow I shall die?" to "But what if tomorrow I am gone?" or "But what if tomorrow I disappear with the wind?" Something along those lines. xD Just simply saying "die" doesn't sound as good.
Same goes with "Crying out your eyes?" I suggest changing that to "Crying your eyes dry?" Crying out one's eyes is an overused phrase, so it sounds better to change it up for a poem.

Also, using "scurry" to describe "worry" sounds weird. Maybe change it to "drift" or "float."
