With All The Words

With all the words
That spells out lonely
The ones most heard
Are if only
So sad
Lost chance
Almost had
Loves dance

The words of regret
That spells out pain
And upset
Once again
You hear
The sound
Of tears
Sorrow found

With just a sigh
That calls to the night
It seeks to fly
Lost its flight
Break free
Of the fear
Of misery
Hearts tear

With all the time
That is left to you
Seek to shine
Be only true
See light
Banish hate
Be bright
Don’t be late

Marsha



Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

Beautifully woven. Yes, 'if only' can be the saddest words or even a trap into undue guilt. To break free from that phrase is extremely necessary. Great lamentation ending in sound advice.

Marsha

Your words are sad but beautiful. There are many "if only" times in one's life. I enjoyed the visit.
