I Never Will

Of the days I've tried,
To take back time;
To fix it all,
Every fall.
I never could...

Of the pain I've caused,
And happiness paused;
I ruined lives,
So many knives.
I always would...

Of the tears I've cried,
No one ever asked why;
Why the tears,
Petty fears.
I never understood...

Of the steps I took,
After every book;
I read to escape,
My heart, raped.
I never should...

Of the days I've tried,
To take back time;
To fix it all,
Every fall.
I never could...
I never have...
I never will...
