Natasha Turner Poet Free verse

If I Had You

If I had you,
I would have been able to see every blind spot.

If I had you,
Flames of fire would have never felt so hot.

If I had you,
I would have never blossomed amongst nettle.

If I had you,
Streets of life would have never turned into a battle.

If I had you,
I would have never collected ashes.

If I had you,
I would have avoided all the bashes.

If I had you
I would have listened to all your stories
And planted so well my territories
If only I had you

Natasha Turner April 25, 2018 at 4:32 PM It's what I've been through and endured dear Sara..my story, my pain, my song. Don't ever put an LOL on my pain..it's not poetic...it means you understood nothing about it..sorry!
