IF ONLY

When nothing remains but a lie,
The fallen rise to control me,
I'm trying to understand why,
She smiles and whispers 'if only.'

I thought that it was me,
Got lost inside a dream,
I need to be complete,
With nothing....

If only to rephrase,
Or maybe just erase,
The words that killed so slowly:
"If only,"

Alone on the edge of the night,
A memory crashes below,
Reflections I couldn't deny,
I'd taken every "if only"

And I was broken down,
As you replaced the past,
I need to be complete,
With nothing...
