Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

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.
