What if I avow my love
breaking the shields,
detesting the apprehensions,
liberating from presumed bondages
to dissolve in your hazy occult

What if I become a rebel
stripping away the inhibitions
detesting the social charade
abutting the dogmatic stares
to announce my blistering desires

What if I break the mold
escaping the impeding barriers
fracturing the virtuous cage
smacking the ostensible bonds
to be with you

And if I defy the world
and leave the sanity behind
will you show courage
to walk with me
away from the desultory world
