Turning Back Time
I never thought
that I would feel
the sorrow that I do
because I made
someone feel
so sad,
depressed
and blue.
I never ever wanted
to bring sadness
to your life.
Quite the contrary,
was my intent,
to explode
your inner strife.
But, alas,
I failed then
as your friend,
or more,
a confidant.
It’s just that time
had stolen from me,
it is not of which I want.
So please see now,
with your heart,
while it aches there
as it does
I will correct
the problem
that now exists
and make it as it was.
