Air,
If only the air
were warm and
inviting
If only, it didn't
scorch
my lungs when I tried to
breathe
bringing
pain.
If only the pain
in my body was a dull
ache
If only it didn't
consume
my mind with feelings of
torture
in the absence of happiness
If only, I could feel the
glow
of its presence
If only, my heart didn't
cry
out every time I think
If only my mind would
stop
churning over old scars and
wishes that are now dead
If only it would
leave
me in peace and stop thinking
of pain
If only you
loved me
in a way that didn't hurt
if only you hadn't left a child to
ponder
over if onlys that will
never
come true
