If Only
by: Scarlett Pittman
2004
She sits and stares
Doesnt know what else to do
Its darkening the whole room
The guilt she thought was through
It didn't take much
To realize what she'd done
Only being too late
After all the fun
Her head in her hands
She stares out of breath
At her feet
She knew it wasn't right
The way her heart had beat
She did it anyways
Despite her conscience
Or her pride
At that point in her life
She didn't feel very much alive
Its too late now
To erase the past
There isn't a way to
Bring the moment back
Its over and done
But the pain still hurts the same
Every single day
She has to look at that face
It wont ever stop hurting
And thats why she screams
It haunts her every moment
Asleep and in her dreams
Why can't it be erased
Why did she do it anyways
Why couldn't she just say no
Why was it so hard to let go
If only she would have thought
A little harder
A little longer
Maybe she wouldn't be
Dealing with this now!
