The Hands of Time

The Hands of Time

A Poem by BryanaBear

Some days I just wish

I wish I could turn back the hands of time

Start all over again.

A clean slate,

I’ll figure out where it all went wrong.

Come on; let’s turn back the hands of time.

We’ll start all over, start brand new.

It will be just and me and you.

Lets just press rewind; 
I'll turn back the hands of time.
We'll figure out where it all went wrong.
Hurry Now, Times racing against us
one quick moment and it can all change
We’ve got to start all over before it’s too late.
The past flashes before my eyes.
The memories are all a blur.
Hurry now; it’s time to start brand new
Let’s press re-wind.
Right now, we hold on to the memories
But the memories hold us back.
Would it help to forget a little?
To press rewind and delete a little?
Rewind and start brand new.
If only… We could turn back the hands of time.
But hey, let’s live a little, delete a little. Forget a lot.
And maybe then we can start brand new.
Maybe then it will just be me and you.
But for now, there’s just me.
And there’s just you.
And we survive off the memories.
Hurry now, there’s no time to waste.
What happens when…?
The memories run out and all we’re left with is,
Nothing but regret, sorrow and hatred.
It’s now or never, right now or nothing.
I can’t hold on to the memories much longer.
Soon you’ll be just a memory.
So baby, me and you we should start brand new.
Now or never, that’s all that’s left.

Nice work. I don't know if you did it intentionally, but the repetition works. History repeats itself, as the saying goes. I enjoyed that bit. We all have regrets, but it's how we respond to the next repetition that matters. Lives are full of second chances and redos, so to speak. It's really a matter of recognizing the pattern and responding appropriately. I like this. Keep up the good work.
