Mel Marakalala Poet I do not know?

If Only

If only you could know what's in my heart,
If only I had ways and the words to tell you.
If only you could know I'm falling apart,
If only there was a world we could go to so I can show you.


Nothing will ever put this flame out,
It's starting to peel the skin off me -- I'm getting naked.
How can my heart be screaming so loud?
Why are there so many people calling me -- from in my head?

If only you could tell me what you're made out of,
So I know what has me falling so hard.
If only there was a button I could switch off,
Before I die from being so tortured.
