If only we could wind back the time,
Push the fingers of the clock,
Around the opposite direction.
I've heard that all happens,
For a unique and specific reason,
So why do we make, such life changing decisions?
If I had the magic touch,
I would reverse the arc of the sun,
And the decent of the moon.
To think for a second time,
To change all my decisions,
And live a different life.
If only things had not gone wrong,
But now I have the chance,
To live the perfect life.
What if you had worn your ring?
I may not have looked at you,
And you may not have looked at me.
What if we had never met?
You may still be married,
And I would not have suffered.
If I had made the choice to control,
These thoughts and emotions,
That are burried here within me.
If we had never laid eyes on another,
My heart would never have been shattered,
And my soul would still be intact.
If only we could wind back the time,
Push the fingers of the clock,
Around the opposite direction.
To think for a second time,
To change all my decisions,
And live a different and better life...

Good one.
Thanks. -
selflessness...
We all must learn life changing lessons... Be them easy or more difficult but they shape who we are... you can't change the fact of what you did... who you fell for...
you can only look to the future... Think of the people you are hurting... even if it hurts you...
selflessness... -
Wow what a thought provoking write. I do believe that everything happens for a reason, be it heartbreak...a life lesson is ment for you. This is an amazingly heartbreaking piece. A life changing experience on many levels. Thank you for entering and good luck in my contest.
P.S. Decent is spelled Descent, and Burried is Buried.
just thought I would make note of that! -
Too many people probably wish this very thing. You have captured quite a torment here. Thank you for entering the contest, good luck.

This was such and amazing poem. I especially loved the lines If I had the magic touch, I would reverse the arc of the sun, and the descent of the moon." and "If we had never laid eyes on another, my heart would never have been shattered, and my sould would still be intact." You might want to change "burried" to the correct spellcheck "buried" and also change the word "decent" to the correct spelling "descent." Again a great poem. Good luck in the contest

"Push the fingers of the clock,
Around the opposite direction."
Liked that; the more 'physical' description of turning back time. Nice job; best of luck in the contest. -
There was alot of passion in this piece. I loved how you wrote about actually turning back the hands of time, but you still had things you wish you could change in there.
Great job.
Thanks for entering.

Oh wow , such a sad and heartfelt piece. This rings of such truth and internal speculation.
Beautifully and poignantly penned. I think we would all love to be able to turn back the clock for so many reasons.
All the very best with this.
