It's Up to You

Perhaps if the timing were better?

If only I. . .
    If only we . . .
         If only you . . .
"If only"s pour forth in torrents
But none can quench today.

If you ever lift yourself from lethargy
You would not find a truer friend than me.
But pride prevents pursuit for me
(And only I pursued a "we")

Your apathy incites my fury.
How can you resign yourself
to this numb and empty state?

I can't so easily dismiss
My heart's potential for true bliss.
But not believing it can be true,
Means it cannot be, for you.

You are wholly worthy
Of love and laughter
Joy and peace.
And so am I.
Goodbye.
