Maybe If I didn't blink that minute
That day, that year.
I wouldn't have had something to cry,
To lie, to fear.
Maybe if I left my eye open,
And watched that incident carefully.
If I didn't blink, didn't close, didn't rub,
It would have ended up less dreadfully.
But I blinked,
And I missed it with every blink.
Ten times, no hundreds,
More thousands in a wink.
Maybe If I didn't blink that second,
That minute, that day.
I wouldn't have had to lie, to smile
To pretend to be okay.
