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
