What If She

What if she had never lied I wonder if she still would be at my side, Still holding my hand and also onto her honor and pride But, who knows the secrets that she kept inside. When I spoke to her I always thought she spoke the truth But, then I was relying on the beliefs of the youth. What if she had never cheated And my heart and my soul was never mistreated, Next to me? I wonder would she still be seated But then as I think, she was uncaring and also conceited. When we had met I did not know that she had deceived And then when I left her, I cried; but my soul was relieved What if we had never divorced And I never had allowed our destiny to be enforced, Would my voice be not stressed, and not coerced But, her past and her living, she had once again endorsed. I sometimes think what if we had stayed together But, now I know that storm of lies and cheating I could never weather. Randy L. McClave
