If, If Only

If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it

If the thoughts that I have
could all get in line
I could organize them
in no amount of time


If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it


If the words worked it out
then there isn't a doubt
that creative comments
would come about


If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it

If my brain could maintain
lyrical laments
long enough for my pen
to paper I could commit

If I knew what to write

I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it



If, if only, if only
I knew what to say
If, if only the words would
come out and play
