If A Sorrow Shared Were A Sorrow Halved

 If There Were Tomorrow, Could You Smile?Would You Dare To Keep On Going Yet Another Mile? If There Were One More Sunrise, Say TomorrowCould You Forgive Me All My Sorrow? Would You Care At All About The Weather?On A Morning Where We’d Wake Up Happily Together? Is There Anything You’d Wanted To Say?If There Were But One More Day? I Guess I Would, Well If I May?It’s Not Enough, Remaining With Nothing More To SayCould You Find Comfort By Walking Away?I’m Asking, Since It’s Not Helping Me On Any Day If There Were No Stupidity And Nothing Bad?If There Were No Anger And We’re Not All Mad?If There Were No Fear That Makes Us Sad?Would You Lay With Me In Our Bed? Could You Comfort Me Once And Evermore?Would You Not Leave Me Out Fragilely And Sore?If There Were A Whole Lot More In Store?Should We Take The Same, So Our Door? If I Were Learning Through Evolution?If There Were No Prejudice Concerning The Impossibility Of Solution?If There Were No Revolution Leading To This Retribution?If There Were No Pollution To Be Overcast With Absolution? If There Were No Losing Myself Writing In This Folder?Would You Protect My Weakened Heart From Getting Colder?Would You Risk Taking That Step And Grow Older?Could You Forever Be The Guardian Watching Over My Shoulder?

Perception

Very long poem to start with. The irregular format is distracting to the contents Written in caps again distracting also indicate you are yelling at the reader are you? sentences are way to long I almost missed the quality of your words through all of the distractions Chrys "Go live and be rewarded"
