If I Asked
If I asked would you?
Let me taste your fears on the tip of my tongue?
Let me swim through your veins and share air from your lungs?
Let me read your thoughts and steal memories from your mind?
Let me lick your heart and keep any treasures I find?
Let me leave you broken like a shattered shell on the ground?
Let me walk away without a conscious and offer no objections of sound?
Let me ask if I asked would you?
