If Only

If I told you that I needed you Would you stand by my side? Could I count on you to aid me? Would you comfort me if I cried? If my world were crashing down on me Would I still see you there? 'Cause I need to know you are I wish I knew if you still cared If I told you that I love you That I'm suffering inside Would you give it up for me Or again cast me aside? If I could only read your thoughts And know where you are tonight Maybe we would find our way again Or maybe things will never be alright © KLLK 2004 *Author's Note: This poem is for my mother, who still causes me confusion, guilt and sadness. I never talk to her anymore.*
