Only the lonely

in #poetry7 years ago

If only I could do what
I want to do:

Be at two places at once
Forego and prevent mistakes
and difficult situations

Forget: turn back time
If only I had control
and never learned to fear

If only I could reclaim innocence
If only I could reclaim not knowing

If only I could claim not dying
and not being born at all

Nothingness, emptiness - devoid
a void
