If Only

Falling down I tried hard to
Hold on, I feel the humiliation,
The pain when my knee hits the

Floor, my darling is not my fault
Feels as my heart shatters
And my soul fails, it was not
My fault my sweets, there was nothing

To hold on to
If only you could ignore the pain,
If only my feet did not freeze over
Useless things and don’t fall

If only I was granted one last wish
Not to have Parkinson Disease, then my body
Would not be covered by unexplained
Black and blue bruises in funny places
