love – world of words

If only

If only I had done better

If only I had tried harder to

If only

But at times I did do better

But no-one saw

But I did it for me

So that when I was feeling that I could have done more, I remember there were times when I did

A reminder that regret is almost futile

And ‘if only’ is just two words

somehow

amidst the gloom

amongst the debris

we must find a little light, a glow, a glimmer

at this moment in time though, we need a glow, a bit of warmth a hug from a soft light

a gentle guide to pull us through

did we dance together yesterday

or was it in my imagination

a kind of hope that maybe it was real

that we danced

maybe sang even

together?

head up and balance

balancing on the edge

the man on the ledge poised

head turning , maybe looking down but then ahead again, perhaps he’ll pull back now

he was just admiring the view

we were all on an edge
