It Might Have Worked
by
Michael Everette

It might have worked…
If I hadn’t lied.
It might have worked…
If you knew who I was inside.
It might have worked…
If we had talked to each other more.
It might have worked…
If I wasn’t everything you abhorred.
It might have worked…
If I had told you how much I cared.
It might have worked…
If my feelings had been shared.
It might have worked…
If you could have felt my love.
It might have worked…
If it was consented from above.
It might have worked…
If I had just given in.
It might have worked…
If it wasn’t a sin.
