Dark Poems

Would Have I

If I would have known could I've been able to stop it
Could I have prevented this disaster?
Would I've been strong enough to stand up against this monster?
Oh I should've noticed the signs that you were giving me.
The silent plea for help,protection, and safety.

Oh I should've known, should've realized that you were reaching out for me.
But if I had known, if I had recognized the signs that you were sending me in waves, could have I been strong enough to protect, to give you the safety you seemed to crave.

No, Yes, Maybe, I don't know
Those answer they scares me.
Never really knowing if I would be capable, able
Could have I been able to go in and save you
Or would I watch you fall and die from the sidelines?

Would I be strong enough, brave enough to save you from the clutches of the villain or would I stay home hoping someone would do that job for me?

Would I be a gallant heroine or would I be cowardly?
I will never know
And that scares me
