If only I knew
I wouldn't have answered
That first ring.

If only I knew
I didn't respond
To that letter.

If only I knew
How to determine
Black from white.

If only I knew
I could have
Opened my eyes.

But then it was
Only a bait
I didn't think as cheat.

If only I have seen
The lies and tricks
Behind that poker face.

My heart bleeds
And until now, it's open.
If only.
