You ever wish that you could just
go back?
Take your palm to the mighty dial of time
and gently pry the seconds dial
tick it back
push and strain
for you to just have another chance.

I wish that I could go back.
Back so I would catch that deadline,
back so that I could’ve seen this
could’ve seen that
and back so far that the stars would look different.
I wish that I could go back.
I would turn my back
on the present
on the future
and instead live where I once was.

I stand at the dial.
and I think,
I wish I could go back.

But when I push,
I am not strong enough to return.
