I'll give it back

I'll give it back

A Poem by Jb

I just want to throw back time

I'll even throw back what's happened in between

To erase the things that I've done

And the permanence that they've left upon my body

This is so sad

This is so selfish

But if I could go back and not have the body I have now,

I would go back

Never knowing the love that I managed to find along the way

Because that love is going to end soon

Because I am going to end soon

Since I'm still stuck here

In this retched body

Just throw me some scissors

Magical scissors

So I can cut off all that doesn't belong

Trim myself down to that whispy hourglass

And then go to erase the tar amongst my lungs

The scars amongst my skin

I just want to be young again

Pure again, not trapped within my sins

If you could erase everything that happened

Within this last year,

Meaning I'd be healthy again, I'd be free again,

Than I'd give back the love

That managed to find me

In the shambles of it all
