Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

I Cannot Turn Back

I cannot turn back
The things I said
I cannot turn back
Time
For, the people I need
Are now dead
 
What would they think?
Of things I say and do
I need them
Before I sink
 
Now...
When I need them most
I cannot speak
For I need them
For their strength
For, I am weak
 
I cannot turn back
Things I said
I cannot turn back time
For the people I need
Are now dead
 
I wish everyday
For a chance
To say
To listen
One more time
To my father
 
I cannot speak to...
The people I need
For, they are dead
One day
I will meet them
on an Autumns' day
and hear what they say
 
I live in two worlds
One, where I speak
The other...
Where, I am weak
Which one I am in now?
I cannot tell!
