If Only

If only the world wasn’t such a disgusting place
there wouldn’t be feared towns
there wouldn’t be dead children
there wouldn’t be poverty
there wouldn’t be

If only heart ache was a thing of the past
there wouldn’t be suicide
there wouldn’t be divorce
there wouldn’t be orphans
there wouldn’t be

If only
If only

there aren’t enough “if only”s

I love the line, "If only heart ache was a thing of the past." So beautiful :D

The beginning of good writing starts with intense feeling. Your poem shows
this in a few heartfelt words. It also says that you will be doing something to
make the "if onlys" less painful for yourself and others. A good write.
