IF I LOSE YOU

IF I LOSE YOU

WOULD LIFE NOT BE VOID OF MEANING?

WOULD BLOOD NOT REFUSE

TO FLOW THROUGH MY VEINS?

IF I LOSE YOU

WOULD MY WORLD NOT GIVE WAY?

WOULD THE BREATH OF LIFE

NOT FROM ME BE TAKEN AWAY?

IF I LOSE YOU

WOULD THE EARTH NOT CRUMBLE TO NOTHINGNESS?

WOULD THE DRUMMING OF MY HEART

NOT FADE TO DEAD SILENCE?

IF I LOSE YOU

WOULD LOVE NOT FORFEIT ITS ESSENCE?

WOULD MY FEET NOT END ITS JOURNEY

THROUGH THE MIRAGE STREETS OF EXISTENCE?

WOULD YOU NOT RATHER BE

MINE TO FOREVER KEEP

‘COS IF I TO THE GREAT BEYOND GO

WOULD THE HEAVENS NOT OF MY SOUL

REQUIRE OF THEE?

- MacHenry Churchill
