An Abundance Of Short Stories & A Handful Of Poems

If Only You Knew

If only you knew
That I will love
You until my very
Last breath, for
You as desperate as
It sounds is near
And dear to my
Heart

If only you knew
That the things you
Do rip and tear me
Apart, the words
You say are
Like knives and
Spears in my back

If only you knew
That I need you
More than I ever
Have, Im scared
Of what my future
Holds, but excited to
Watch this chapter unfold

If only you knew
That I wish to
Confide in you
Like so many others
Do, a mothers hug
Is warm and gentle
A mother's love is
Monumental

If only you knew
I wish that were true
At least for us
It would be something
New
At least for me
It would be
A dream come true

If only you knew
I wish you knew
That me and you
Could start anew
