What if...

I've been laying in bed
For two days straight..
I haven't been well, you see...
And all sorts of things
Have been darting through my mind..
What if...
What if I never leave the house again?
What if I shut off the world?
Will anyone even realize?
Or... What if...
What if I pack my bags,
Place them in the back seat of my car
And drive away to destinations unknown..?
Who will come looking for me?
What if I book into a motel
Under a different name...
Something exotic and unusual..
A room with a nice cosy bed
And a claw foot tub
What if...
What if I fill the tub
With lovely warm water...
And then I close my eyes
And let my troubles soak away...
They say that you don't feel the first cut...
If the water is warm enough...
And that you slowly drift away...
Carried gently on a soft wave...
What if..
What if this is the answer...
To all of my questions?
