If I Could
A promise made in silence.

If I could hold all your sorrow.
If peace was a thing that I could borrow.
If faith was a thing that could be seen.
If happiness was as guaranteed as grass is green.
If I could unbreak a broken promise.
Reverse all the lies you’ve been told
and make them honest.
If I could steal back time.
Give you the love you deserved
and had made your heart mine.
If I could carry the sharp pain in your chest.
If I could peer into the future
and give you a glimpse of what’s next.
If I could hold you
every time you shed a tear.
If I could lift any weight
that you could not bear.
Undo the things in life you regret.
If I could endure what you were not ready for yet.
I’d forgive everyone that has betrayed you for you.
If I could collect all that is due.
With all the pain you’ve gone through…
I’d do anything.
To give you everything.
If I could.
