Brian Strand Poet Kyrielle

Ifs & Buts

If 
only,
is the sigh-
self-centredness
cry
If 
only,
look at me-
what do others
see
If 
only,
I could give-
my selfishness
lives
If 
only,
I could die-
desperation's
cry
If 
only,
do not buy-
the deceiver's 
lie
If 
only,
listen up-
drink now of my
cup
If 
only,
turn around-
seek the solid
ground
If 
only,
hold my hand-
we''ll sit,walk then
stand
If 
only,
born anew-
with perspective's
view
