If Only...

Poetry - If Only...

Your eyes tell a story
A story of a thousand things
The pain and the suffering
The horrors of one who was much to young to know
Take my hand and let me heal you
Close your eyes and trust in me
My love can make you whole
You were always on the outside looking in
Standing still afraid just to run in
Who scarred you
Who broke your soul and left you bleeding
trying to plug the gaping hole
Take my hand and let me heal you
Close your eyes and trust in me
My love can make you whole
I bring you flowers
I bring you love
I talk to you for hours trying to soothe the pain
I cry to the heavens wondering why I was too late
Why I could not take away your self hate
I walk from your final resting place and I think
If only you had taken my hand and let me heal you
If only you had closed your eyes and trusted in me
My love could have healed you and made you whole
