Turn Back Time

 

She wants me to turn back time

If I could, I would

Even at the loss of these new souls

No, these now known essences

That man, this girl, that moose

Death, wind, flow, and breath

I’d loose them all

To make her happy

To rid that loneliness from her

 

She wants me to turn back time

To her era of walks and late night familiarity

Of friendship and open flow

A writer and a reader

Moonlight, street lamps, text messages

Sneaking out the window

That fat can waiting for ‘squishy’

Late night burritos

And the promise he said of ‘always with you’

 

She wants me to turn back time

I want to make her happy

I want the stain of him,

That memory of his existence

The recall…scar of his betrayal to leave her

The burden he placed on her to no longer be

I want her to be happy

Without the false hope she feeds the mirror

Like I, that he will return
