If only I listened

Instead I nod

Told what to believe

Lies unfold.

If only I listened

Life would be different

Things together

Not fallen apart.

If only I listened

Hit hard

My beating heart

Cursed for love.

If only I listened

Took it apart

Torn from the heart

Found the lost part.

If only I listened

When love was given

Before I tore

This beating heart.
