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
