If desires are a flame,

Then I am a wildfire.

If a book is a lifetime of unwanted drama,

Then I am a series.

If a wave is dangerous,

Then I am the ocean.

If expectations were physical things,

Then I'd need a house to fit them all.

If all my tears were collected,

Then I'd need a planet.

If love is supposed to bring me up,

Then what’s love?

If leaving hurt less,

I'd do it more often.

If obeying cost less,

Then it would be easier.

If doing what I want wasn't forbidden,

Then I wouldn't have learned to fight for it.

If heartbreak were a person,

Then it might as well be you.

If betrayal had a scent,

Then it would be your perfume.

If I had a voice,

You'd be in awe.
