Skylar Haner Poet Rhyme

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

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.
