REVERSE
If Adam was Eve and Eve was Adam,
Then do you think love would really matter?
If I were she and she were me,
Then do you think our love would really stand up?
If we all switched roles, and posed for the show,
Do you think there would be any laughter?
If I were your friend, but left seeds in your head,
Would you still call me your mentor?
If I were to die, way before my time,
Would you still pour out some liquor?
If I were to cheat, and gave you a disease,
Would you still consider me your lover?
If I was broke, but full of hope,
Would you still be my rider?
If you heard words, full of soap
Would you still continue to listen to that feather?
If we smoked, something grown,
Would you still call me out on that flavor?
If I spoke, different words
Would you accept the fact that I'm much older?
If I downplayed, all of our convos,
Would you still stay close to my shoulder?
If I was nice, to everyone,
Would I still get into heaven?
If I ask for loyalty, then honesty,
Would you be that umbrella?
If I were to cry, right in front of your eyes,
Would you still pull that trigger?
If so........
Well, let me die, within these lines
For life is nothing to mention,
Because life is just a reverse dimension.

Questions
Why did you have to go so soon?
Goodbyes were said but they weren't enough.
You acted with courage but it wasn't
The quizzical little matter, of what we need to learn.
It all begins with just one question, it is a fascinating little
