If Only You Knew

by Casey   Jul 5, 2007


You call me a coward
as I walk away
from all that I could have had.

but

If only you knew
why I wasn't strong enough
to accept the great things
you offered.

If only you understood
why
I'd rather live on the streets
than in the house I once had.

If only you had lost the things I had
and felt what I did.
Maybe then you'd understand
Maybe then
you'd let me be.
