Damn you, Time

by Live WeLL   Jan 10, 2008


I'm living in the past, a time when things were better,
Reminiscing over friends, reading every love letter.
Old familiar songs bring me back to tears,
Making me wish I could go back just a few years.

Back to what we'd say were "the good ol' days."
A time when those words meant more than just a cliched phrase.
Our friendships were real and our bonds were unbreakable,
and never did I imagine Time could turn them erasable.

Well, damn you Time, and the changes you bring,
The memories you deteriorate and the friends you sting.
For once, just once, could you stand real still?
Keep loved ones close, and let me enjoy the life I live?

Reverse your stubborn hands and bring me back to Then.
The days that bring a smile and make me ask - "Remember when?"
The days I'm living here and now, they just don't compare,
and if I had one wish, it would be to take me back to There.

    Awe, I liked this. It had an excellent meaning and your rhyming stuck out to me.
    I didn't really get grabbed into the poem/prose, but I still did enjoy it, espically the point. We all loose someone or something special to us at time.

    Nonethless, good job.
