If Only

Oh! Angel that brought my sight to the light of this world How can I express my sorrow seeing you torn to pieces? How can I catch the bullets that hit every strand of your vein I haven't expressed much my love for you except in silence If only I could break free from the grip of my shackles Then every tick of my clock is a moment spent with you But I'm just a poor soul with a weight to carry Like mountains upon my callused shoulders I could not even lift the weight of my own feet And against the gust of storm I almost fall everytime Afraid to make a promise of sunrise For today could be my last sunset February 24, 2024, PST, BC
