Master of the Mind

If I was the master of the mind, I'd go back three years in time Redo the mess we made in the name of love and never write this rhyme Every mistake we ever made I'd take captive and bind Throw it in the ocean, a thousand feet deep, for the gods to find What I wouldn't do to take back what I've done What I wouldn't give to go back a hundred suns With each passing day the memory fades The one where you said you'd be a fool to walk away Oh, you're a fool to walk away If I was the master of the mind, I'd take back every cruel word Listen to you talk instead of wanting to be heard Minute after minute passes as the past becomes blurred This deafening silence only makes me realize my words have been slurred What I wouldn't do to take back what I've done What I wouldn't give to go back a hundred suns With each passing day the memory fades The one where you said you'd be a fool to walk away You know you're a fool to walk away

Excellent pen Skylar! Your piece is so nice but so dark and sad, don't we all wish we could redo the past and change it but sadly we cant my friend. What's done is done! Only thing we can do is accept mistakes, be very strong and try not to repeat them again. The best to you! A 7 from me! Have a lovely day! In his light! God bless! :) D.
