POEM STARTER
Inspired by Daniel HJ
If Only...
Write a poem which starts or ends with "If only".
If Only
If only time would wait for me
To catch my breath and let things be
to mend the cracks I left behind
In broken hearts and diamond minds
If only I had dared to speak
When silence wrapped around my weak
If only I have pulled the tread
And stitched up the tapestry that you shred
If only starts could grant regret
A chance to heal a chance to forget
Hushed through all my prettiest years
So now I laugh to hide my tears
When your young they assume you know nothing
But the fragilest of hearts feel everything
wishes wash away like morning dew
I’m my life nothing is new
If only i was wrapped in fame
But now I know it’s a losing game
Wildest of minds learned to tame
Yet in the midst on all mine remain
If only I was strong like a solider
Instead I’m breakable like glass
My spine split from carrying this burden like a bolder
If only I had a second chance
If only
If only
If only
We keep wishing
Regretting
Beliving
Longing
For another chance
If only I had another chance
I would embrace it and never let go
