if

if i had the words to write
i would
if i had the breath to speak
i would
if i had the dreams to dream
i would
if i had love to give
I'd give
but i only have these few minutes
these few lines
you see i just don't have the time
years turned to days in seconds
if i had a watch it'd be on hyper speed
if only you could see what i see
feel what i feel
something so real...
to be taken and consumed
devoured by time this soon
i feel my hands shake
and my mind break
the ground crumbles and drags me in
i sink, before i ever had the chance to swim
what if...
there are no ifs
just this
these few seconds
all i have
the few moments i stand and try to grab
lost and consumed by time...
what if i don't resume
