If Only...

Write a poem which starts or ends with "If only".

The last Breath

If Only I could say all of my regrets Before I have to take my last breaths So much I could say With so little time left in the day For tonight I leave you Hoping everything you said was true Especially the I love you For tonight I'll start a life that's completely new As I get ready for bed A pulsing beat starts in my head I realize once I go to bed I will be dead For if I stay up all night Maybe then I have a chance of being all right But if I go to sleep Maybe then I won't have to weep I could stay will you So I could hear the word I know are true I think I'll stay up most of the night Then I know I could try to make things write Or Maybe I should just weep And cry myself to sleep I get under the cover Ready to discover What lies for me in my dreams As I sing myself to sleep The next morning I wake up My wakeup is very abrupt I realize I have not died Even though I thought I might I inhale deeply And fall to the ground weakly Even though I tried I now know I haven't survived
