If I could operate the Time machine

#If I could operate the time machine…

If sobs could build a bridge over my eye pearls

And memories could become the torch

Then, even in vagueness, I would go to heaven above,

And snatch you from him and bring you back

I would learn to operate the time machine to rewind

And I would stop-break the cruel button on the day

When your golden heart had stopped beating,

When you left us without a sign.

The day you last breathed,

All my veins trembled in its breeze

I got fragmented and sat with a void in my soul

Now I’m lost in the labyrinth of the daily grind

Still, the clouds of pain hover deep below

I wish I could bring you back,

Could rewind the time machine

And wish I could stop-break the cruel button,

On the day you left us, oh dear Papa!
