If Only

What was left unsaid
Is screaming in my head
The slamming of the door
Is ringing in my ears
How could you?!
After all these years
Facing my fears
Through my tears

If only......
What was left unsaid

G'day Timothy … Many of us have lived our lives with 'if only's'. However if you haven't made mistakes, then you haven't done anything I guess. A sad reflection Timothy - Lindsay
