Memories flood back and again I'm lost in time Is there a button I can press so I can rewind? Maybe a phone number, a code that I could call? Cause "I don't hate you, not even a little, not even at all"
If I pressed that button, would I be able to forget The fact that we ever really met? Would we be just two souls, out there in space Never to have met each other face to face?
Do I even have the strength in me To leave your life and let you be Without another word left to say Would you really be okay?
The answer is no
I have the thoughts, though paper's not filled I do have the pen, but the ink's been spilled The will is there and yet is nowhere to be seen But what does that really mean?
Although the empty and the silence does sound "fine" I can't pretend that our pasts didn't intertwine I notice my tapestry of life slowly forming for all the years that it took But I somewhat like how it's starting to look
It's not perfect however when being in a calm flow From it's edges I can see a faintly glow And for my history to be this way for me to SHINE Then no, that button I will not press to rewind.
There's been some ups (and downs more than I can count) But I knew with you (and my crew) around I'd be safe and sound And since I'm certain there's much more in store for me I'm throwing in the towel and just let the past be
Originally this poem only ended after the three stanzas, but after weeks and weeks of reflecting, I decided on turning it into more of a hopeful message, in a way to prove to myself that I can be my own source of light in the pitch black corner of my thoughts.
