If Only


Before she realized

the light was gone

the air turned cold

her life was done

faster than light

it turned to night

without a sight

caused her to fright

 

Darkness fell upon her spirit 

all senses lost she could barely hear it

all was lost or so she thought

the pain's taking over or is it not?

 

If only she thought

before her heart hopped

if only she thought

the car would have stopped

if only she thought

before the end

if only she thought 

before she drank with her friend
