It Only

By Brenton FPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

it only takes my best lines

to show you my worst

i casually ignored the rest signs

and unthreaded a messy curse

if only i had listened then

the difference i’d know now

a relatively alternate when

some day some way some how

it only took a quick look

from where everything was up

no tempting in the emptying

of another spilt and spoilt cup

if only plays the memory tease

digging on the randomly obscure

a rapid fire synapse breeze

a flood of past times to endure

it only drips at quiet times

a soft pattering behind my eyes

simple slips from bright times

and inner dialogued sighs

surreal poetry

    The journey of life. Some of us, don’t know how to take the shortcut but the hard roads of life.

    "If only" is the haunting bugger that keeps us up at night. Great poem.
