If Only You Knew

If only you knew Days gone by and still I cry Sole tears trickle with a gentle sigh It’s all still here still so real Nothing is helping the way I feel Blood with needles all piercing my heart From the moment you slept at the very start A beautiful family always here to help Any other time my heart would melt But not this moment or any other day Inside I’m crying my life away Everything I see and everything I do Leads me back to missing you A little kiss upon your head is all I need To say I love you and stop the pains feed I can’t see a way to escape this jail My soul is in all I do is fail Good memories are deep within Like the very last sweet inside a tin I need a way to set them free The way a river flows to the sea I want to smile and laugh a little But memories of my Nan are few and brittle They day will come I have to let go My body my mind my heart say no No one in this universe could ever compare to you My beautiful perfect nan... if you only knew
