Signal Poetry

If Only

I can hear the car downshifting as it enters the run-down part of town

I can hear the clock ticking, and the spring inside is winding down

I can feel my heartbeat running strong and true

But I just don’t know you

I can hear the motor turning the propellor of the plane up in the sky

I can see the flowers wilting, brown leaves falling from the tree

I can feel a teardrop falling from my eye

Because without you, I’m not free

I can feel the still air, breath in, breath out

I can flip a coin; watch it spin and see my doubt

Of heads or tails, the choice isn’t mine

I cannot choose; if I only could decline
