Magical Clock

Time ticking backwards to memories there
To remember a time; one that we shared
I see my mistakes and perhaps I can erase
The sadness I put right there on your face
A touch on your cheek to a tear dropping down
Can I still stop them from causing a frown?
Let’s start from the point we were happy and free
Then turn the clock forward and start over with me
I’ll show you each day the love in my heart
I hope you’ll allow the romance to start
We were once just friends then I asked you for more
You gave me your love and then I closed the door
Afraid of the pain I had once felt before
I shut you out and made giving a chore
The day that you left I saw my mistake
Pain overwhelmed me, I’m hollow and I ache
So, turn back the hands on this magical clock
Back to the time I asked you to stop
I’ll give you my heart and let go of the fears
Take a chance with you; let’s share our best years
Please tell me my love that it isn’t too late
For in you I have found my love and soul-mate

Wow! I have felt this way about my past that fueled all my poems of love and loss.
"We were once just friends then asked you for more
You gave me your love and then I closed the door
Afraid of the pain I had once felt before
I shut you out and made giving a chore"
You helped me realize that I'm falling into the same pattern now with those 4 lines. Thank you for writing this wonderful poem!

Kelsey, glad you enjoyed. So much easier to push away than to be vulnerable, but sometimes it leads to regrets. dunno Wish I knew when it was better to stay than to run. sigh

If only we could Cloudysky, if only we could turn back time many of us would for so many different reasons. How do we know when someone should be just a friend or more? Who knows, perhaps realising that you can't see your future without the person in question? dunno
