Hmmm, I might have posted this one earlier but I'd like some opinions on it again, if I could.
Only
It only took a moment
To take away forever
It only took a word
To kill the hope inside
It only took a gesture
To start the path to war
It only took the silence
To lose the chance again
It took a single match,
Burning in the night,
To make me wonder why
And so, with upturned face,
Eyes deep and sad,
Skin pale in the still night,
I looked into the rain,
Tears running down my face,
Opened up my arms
And smiled
