If Only You Knew Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

time caught up with me
pain struck like lightening
so suddenly
tears flow than any ocean
overcome by solid emotion

voiceless after making choices
sorry traveled quite a distance
haunts me night and day
the years have unraveled these fears
buried from deep within

If only you knew
just how much
I love you
If only I shared
just how much
I really do care
If you recognized
You would realize
the wounds found in my eyes

time caught up with me
sorry traveled quite a distance
and the years unraveled the fears
struck me like lightening
haunts me every night and day
