If I Could

I would

If I could

Do what I would.

But I can only that I can.

~

Wishes are not horses

And beggars don't ride,

Pigs can't fly

And frogs do bump their ass.

~

Still I ask you

Should drunks write,

Should lovers stay true?

What is right, and what is wrong?

~

Sometimes the hurt is

Beyond the pain

Where no pill can reach

No massage can touch.

~

If I could sing

I'd sing a song

But I cannot

Carry a tune in a bucket.

~

I would climb the highest mountain

But I have vertigo.

I would swim the widest ocean

But I cannot swim a lick.

~

But if I could do all that

Would it bring her back?

If she does not care

Why should I?

~

The best way they say

To get over a woman

Is to

Get on another one.

~

How can one bring to an end

To the endless

Except in a beginning

Of a new story?

~

O the lost

The poor lonely souls

Locked in solitude

Looking for a way out.

~

One is the loneliest number

One always wants to be two,

But the two have to match

Enough to become one.

~
