Thinking

Have you ever looked back.
Thought about the past, future, 
and 
present?

Saw life fly by without slowing 
it 
down.

Made mistakes you couldn't 
take 
back.
Met people you wish never 
existed.
Lost people you wish you could 
get 
back.

Screwed up so bad that letting 
go 
was better then holding on.

Having that thought always run 
through your mind.

Was it the right choice?
Will time just go on from here?
Is all lost forever?

It's like a clock that forgot how 
to 
turn.

One minute it's moving 
And next your dead in your 
tracks.
No where to run
No where to hide.

Still all you can think is why.

Why this,
Why that,
Why him,
Why her.

Having life as a door,
People, places and things
They come in and out so fast.

Some hurt,
Others just pass on by.

Without realizing what was had 
its 
gone in a blink of an eye.

Without the clock that stopped 
time
Without the time what moved 
to fast
Without the fast pace that 
blinded all 

Everything that once was
Is nothing anymore.

Everything that kept moving
Is just a blind shade.

Everything that stopped
Is flying by.

With all but a remembrance
From your mind.
