“IF ONLY…”

TIME RUNS FAST, BUT HURT AND PAIN RUN SLOW,

AS A CHILD THESE VALUES I WISH I DID KNOW,

NOW AS AN ADULT THESE VALUES I WISH I COULD NEVER OUT GROW,

IF ONLY LIFE ALLOWED MORE TIME FOR THE TRUTH TO ALWAYS SHINE THROUGH AND SHOW,

IF I COULD STEAL MOMENTS THE JUDGE WOULD CONVICT ME AS FELON FOR LIFE,

IF ONLY YOU COULD UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I DESIRE OUT OF LOVE AND OUT OF LIFE,

ALL GOALS UNATTAINABLE WOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE DESERVING AND TRUE,

ALL LIVES TAKEN WOULD BE RETURNED AND HOPE RESTORED – I AM SPEAKING OF YOU,

ALL PAIN AMASSED AND ALL THE PAINFUL TEARS THAT HAVE BEEN CRIED,

WOULD BE BOTTLED UP AND CASTAWAY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES,

IF ONLY I COULD HOLD YOU AGAIN AND LAUGH WITH YOU TOO,

IF ONLY YOU TRULY KNEW HOW MUCH I DEEPLY MISS AND LOVE YOU,

STANDING HERE SHAKING, MY CORE IS SHAKEN TO THE FLOOR,

IF ONLY I’D KNOWN HOW TO LOVE YOU…KNOWN HOW TO LOVE YOU EVEN MORE,

IS THERE SUCH A WAY OR PLACE THAT WILL BE EVIDENCE?

IF ONLY THE WORLD TOO KNEW THAT YOU ARE TRULY HEAVEN SENT,

YOUR PRESENCE IS A PRESENT – A GIFT OF MASSIVE SORTS,

IF ONLY YOU COULD READ MY HEART – THE DAILY STATUS WOULD SAY I LOVE YOU WITH YOUR NAME REPEATEDLY ALL OVER THE REPORT,

IF ONLY WE COULD BRING BACK TO LIFE THE BABIES WE HAD LOST TO MISCARRIAGE, INNOCENTLY KILLED, STILL BORN, OR HAD TO ABORT,

IF ONLY WE NEVER GOT TO THIS POINT OF SITTING ACROSS FROM ONE ANOTHER IN THE BATTLE FIELD OF COURT,

I HAVE BEEN IN A MAZE SEARCHING FOR YOU,

AND ALL I EVER HAD TO FOLLOW ARE THESE SMALL CLUELESS  USELESS CLUES,

WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? IF THAT ONLY I KNEW,

I STILL WOULD NOT CEASE TO PLAY THESE GAMES NOR A  NEW PATH WOULD I CHOOSE,

BUT BLINDLY I CONTINUE ,

SOAKED IN TEARS AND IN OPEN VIEW, 

IF ONLY I COULD FIND MY WAY BACK TO YOU.
