If only

 


If only

I could ignore

the lonely

feeling

that gnaws away

at my core.

The feeling that

grips me in its claws.

If only

I could pull

these words

from my chest,

to stop their descent

as they fall to the floor

of my stomach.

For carcass words

are so hard to digest.

 

My lips

stitched shut.

If only

I had scissors to cut

the threads that bind.

If only

you would

call to say

hi.

I’d not dread

answering that call.

Id fly

through crystal

waterfalls,

refreshing

the burnt out

feelings that live inside.

 

If only

we could

spend the night

watching stars

drift across

breathtaking skies.

If only

you'd look

into my eyes,

catching my heart

in a single glance,

then

like a key

to open

this chest locked tight

you would say

those words,

and I’d smile

so wide.

 

If only

you would

hear me

speaking

to the moon,

asking for her

to grant me

a wish or two.

You'd know

that my wish

would be

for a dream

to come true.

That my wish

would be

a lifetime

with you.
