But I don't have the power to
19 May 2007
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.
Notes
This was the first poem I had written for about three or four years and it depicted my mood at the time I wrote it. As you can probably guess already, it was a sad romantic time.
