Would it Matter?

If we knew who we were hurting, would our actions be the same?

By myself I hide, knowing
lives are being torn apart.
If only they could see me,
would they still venture away?

It’s easy to say goodbye
when no one is watching you.
Would they still venture away,
if only they could see me?

Love turns into lies and hate.
Destiny breaking my heart.
If only they could see me.
Would they still venture away?

Child-like tears fall in silence.
Thoughts wondering if they knew,
would they still venture away?
If only they could see me. . .
