What If?

What if I was wrong and I wasn't ment to cry
I broke the rules so my wings were clipped.
I could no longer fly, torn from the sky I fell. In love.
What if it was all my fault he didn't really love me.
My fault I cared so much to feel his touch and warmth.
For longing to be within the comfort of his arms.
My fault for wanting to be cared for, to feel safe. To be loved.
What if I was in the way of their love. I delayed it with tears.
I was given shelter for pity. He felt sorry for my broken spirit.
Pity only goes so far for this fallen star was left to die.
What if I could change. What if I was her. What if he really loved me.
Shattered dreams, tortured souls, crippled hearts. All too sensless to stop trying.
Fade away slowly forgotten by many, cared for by few. Missed by no one and crushed by all.
What if he loved me... What if I was you... What if... What if... but dreams never come true...
