Could We Say?

Could We Say?

A Poem by Alisa Js

how many times did we almost
right down to the minute
almost to the day

maybe all I wanted was 
that certain sense of safeness,
your arms around me
promising
'we will be O.K.'

so many reasons
we left it at 
almost.
so many seasons 
of 
struggling and pain.

and I know if we wanted to
we could have,
we should have

and now, all I can see
are 
those haunting 
memories

would I be willing to bring back
if

I could somehow bend time...

The flow is flawless. You are beyond control romancer and good for you. A quick note though about repetitive themes and that is all. We are all here to help so "If only" needs to be a more personal heart wrenching note. Just my thought...and we know about them..lol.
