If Only… (Poem…?)

If only I were strong enough
I’d fight the bad away
Beat back all the demons
Keep darkness at bay
*
If only I were rich enough
Funds could not keep us apart
I would always be near you
And not only in your heart
*
If only I were there enough
To always hold you tight
I’d keep you warm and safe
And in my arms all through the night
*
If only I were good enough
To be what you deserve
To hold to you forever
To cherish and to serve
*
If I could make you laugh enough
Perhaps you wouldn’t cry
And give a smile to wipe away
The teardrop from your eye
*
If I could be all of the things
That you need and require
Maybe things would change
And your spirits would he higher
*
But in the end I’m nothing
I can’t help to set you free
I wear no shining armor
Because I’m only plain-old me.
*
No need to tell me that it sucks, cause I’m very aware of that fact. But…whatever.
*
“I see your picture
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days
But already I’m wasting away
*
I know I’ll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know that I care
And I miss you.”
