#Rewind
#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!
