No One Can Go Back In Time

No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies In all those moments where tenderness sat waiting But was met with a cold heart No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies The dead air after I said thank you or I love you In the moments I wasn't welcome or loved in return No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies When I put my coat where yours should hang So you threw mine on the floor No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies Where I had something I wanted to share with you And you said "no one wants your life story" No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies When you insisted I apologised For things you thought I'd thought No one can go back in time But that's where the answer lies Where I hugged you And you didn't hug me back All the things you want now, were right there day after day All the things I wanted, were cruelly withheld So don't tell me everything will change because you're now experiencing discomfort I endured every rejection and told you how I felt and how to fix it If it was my feelings about these things motivating you, then your discomfort wouldn't be necessary for you to realise No one can go back in time

An interesting formula used Di11y. The rift between them was never really healed, it's obviously his loss! :)

Your awakening from a nightmare.Just don't go back to sleep kid.The hardest part is over.Trust your feelings.Trust you .

Deep introspection here in this poem...would that we were as strong as granite about some things; but it those things that make us who we are. I really liked this.

Thanks Paige - some tricky emotions for me to stay of top of. I'm glad of poetry so I can watch as I tumble through them
