Over the river

you’re laughing

I can hear it,

the sounds of starting again

I can hear it,

the shards of a broken mirror

I can hear it,

the forever that was lost

I can

miss yesterday

I’m the only one

who can tell you

how it feels

I’m the only one who

misses yesterday

Why don’t you

I don’t know why

Didn’t you ever

Feel the forever

Didn’t you ever

want that perfect mirror to last

I don’t know why

I want to kick myself

I want to break out in tears

I want to run up the stairs

I want to run back down

I want to trace the whole world

Back to its beginnings

I want to say your name backwards

Laugh backwards

Love backwards

Live backwards

for the rest of time

I don’t know why

I want to love you like you once loved me

I want to conquer the world

I want to apologize again

I want to do all the things

I should have done…

Backwards

it’s the only way to live

No decisions,

only facts

Watching them unfold

retracing the past

Animals descend the ark backwards

Clouds are once again filled with rain…

I unwrite this story

words pulled back into my pen

And no one has ever read it

or ever will again
