Cauterized

If you were gone

not here

with me

would I move on?

or just stop and bleed?

If you disappeared

from sight

and mind

would I notice?

or just trudge on blind?

If you left me

alone

out here

would I fall down?

or face my own fear?

If you wonder

ever

about

what might just be

or ever come to doubt

You needn't worry

or fret

or fear

for your love will

burn my wounds all clear
