No Time machine

Can save me now

I can forgive you

For lying and cheating

For breaking my soul

But I can’t forgive the fool

After so many chances

Who still failed, walked away

Tried so hard, just to let it go

And old friend I haven’t

Seen in years

Came to me in a nightmare

said, “what about now?’

I said 90, no 80 percent

And knew I was lying

Even in my sleep, my dream

I know that it is me

That I cannot forgive

This failure haunts me

This nightmare awakens me

To what I already know

All the worse

Is the dichotomy, presently

That if I were the fool I was then

I’d be happier now

And if I was the man I am now

I’d have been happier then



That if I were the fool I was then

I’d be happier now

And if I was the man I am now

I’d have been happier then

Can’t be who I need to be when I need to be them

Like I said

No Time machine

Can save me now

The definition of too late

Nothing I can change

Will ever make it right

Somehow nothing I do

Will take the currently

Empty, aching, singular

Point in side my mind

And fill it with you
