if i had a notion
of what was going down
before it had happened
it would have never began
if i had a potion
to turn pain to dust
i wouldnt waste a drop
i'd hand it over to you
i'd even switch positions
please don't drink that bottle
because feelings seem too hard to swallow
you want to switch to liquids
i didn't hear the screams call out,
before the accident began
but if i did i would have been there standing in your place
as you were knocked off your feet and safe
a moment earlier then this
where i hear you crying in pain
if time froze a second
i'd do something better
i woudnt fix the clock
i'd repair broken looks
broken looks meant for your face..
if i had an ocean
or a pool to swim in
i wouldnt waste a drop
i'd hand it over to you
just to wash away the stains
you're deeper then that puddle
and though feelings seem to hard to swallow
please don't switch to liquids
i didn't hear the screams call out,
before the accident began
but if i did i would have been there standing in your place
as you were moved aside and safe
a moment earlier then this
where i hear you crying in pain
if i had an ocean
or i had a potion
or an extra moment
to have stopped this for you
but i'll do what i can now
we'll make the crying stop
If
A big word if. Magic potions for a time change - if. Pain and empathy, An if only write, do what can be done to ease what comes after. That and if are all we have. Wishing them wellness.
