If I had Known
Life became busy,
I thought there was time.
I never imagined,
I’d write you a rhyme.
Though here I am crying,
Here I’m alone.
Wanting to call you,
Where there’s not a phone.
If I had known,
Your heart was this broken.
I would have left,
No words unspoken.
Though heaven’s between us,
Could you hear me cry?
Holding your ashes,
When I told you goodbye.
If I had known,
Despair where you dwelt.
I would have healed,
The numb that you felt.
Though heaven’s between us,
Can you hear me say?
I’m sorry I failed you,
When you lost your way.
Now that you’re gone,
A burden is passed.
Your free will,
Left pain that will last.
Questions unanswered,
Leave thoughts to erupt.
An unfinished life,
That ended abrupt.
If I had known,
Your heart was this broken.
I would have left,
No words unspoken.
Though heaven’s between us,
Could you hear me cry?
Holding your ashes,
When I told you goodbye.
If I had known,
Despair where you dwelt.
I would have healed,
The numb that you felt.
Though heaven’s between us,
Can you hear me say?
I’m sorry I failed you,
When you lost your way.
When pain you are feeling,
No one can know.
A pain deep inside you,
You cannot show.
The devil is working,
Making you weak.
Forgiveness and healing,
In God you must seek.
~If I had known,
Your heart was this broken.
I would have left,
No words unspoken.~
Dedicated to my brother.
All my love,
