Only If

If I could only Only if Then I could Flee this cliff If I just had Had I just Then perhaps I could trust One more piece Piece of puzzle I'd break the chains Of this muzzle Once I get Get this break I'd make not one More mistake It's all I need Need just this Life would be Full of bliss But I was wrong Wrong all along Now I sing The wanting song If I could tie Tie this knot Then I'd have Everything I've sought If I could only Only if Then I could flee Flee this cliff

There is an adage that states "be careful what you ask for - you just might get it." The repetition worked well as "stops". And as the poem points out "living is always done on the edge".
