Did people not ever say…
that Time is a cure for pain
But as I took a stroll down our Memory lane
tears replaced your fingers again
in caressing my cheeks.
If we were ever destined to meet
Why did Destiny break its promise
and make you take away from me
the past warmth in your cold heart I seek.
Before I leave this once-enchanting stage
I think…
If I could turn back time,
I’d go before we first met
and command my footsteps
so we walk in parallel lines that never intersect
Or if I could control fate,
I’d hold you tight against me
and let our hearts beat side by side
so I could never taste the sourness of regret
Or if only… I had enough will within me,
I’d leave your images behind
and lock you out of my mind—
So then
I’d be safe from the piercing thorns of heartless coldness
where I lie in my little world I nickname — cage.
