If only

Two tiny words that speak volumes
So many times these words are spoken
And the reasons so numerous.
If only there was something I could say.
If only I had told him how I felt.
If only I hadn't said that.
If only I had called.
If only we had talked.
If only there was something I could do.
If only we had tried harder.
If only I had been more patient.
If only I hadn't been so foolish.
Wishing that you could take away even a small part of the hurt.
Is there anything worse than seeing the pain of
Someone for whom you care so deeply?
Can there be anything worse than watching a loved one suffer?
Only knowing that you caused it.
