If Only... Poem by Ainoko Ironrose

If Only...



If only…
You were alive.

If only…
I were you.

If only…
You were here with me.

If only…
You were real.

If only…
Our worlds overlapped.

If only…
The world would let us love openly.


If only…
You survived.

If only…
You were here when I needed you the most.

If only…
I could do more.

If only…
You would listen to me.

If only…
Told me that you loved me

If only…
We would be accepted for who we are.

If only…
I wasn't at a loss for words.

If only…
I could say more.

If only…

If Only...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This was inspired by a few major events in my life from the death of my brother from cancer, to my mother's despair after losing her father, to me coming out to my family and friends after coming to terms about who and what I truly am, and the recent death of my partner a week after my birthday.

I wrote this in a disjointed fashion to reflect my feelings over these life events.
