POEM STARTER

Inspired by Daniel HJ

If Only...

Write a poem which starts or ends with "If only".

I Wish I Had Stayed

If only I stayed when he called out my name

But I left in a rush. Now my mind isn’t the same


He asked me a question, but flew I out the door.

And now I just realized, he was worth fighting for.


One moment of stupidity followed by endless regret.

Last week’s awkward silence, I’ll never forget.


If only he knew I wasn’t just leaving…

I was getting out before I had to see him silently start grieving.


I wish I had told him. Or he told me…

Now all I can say is “if only. If only…”
