You really want change?


What do you want me to change?
To take away death or pain?
To take us back to yesterday?

You were the one who killed me inside,
You were the one who watched me die.
And then you ran away to hide.

If I could change just one thing for us,
One thing to make you reach above,
I'd make you have to love.

I would give you the love try again,
So you could erase and forget your sin,
So you don't hurt anyone ever, amen.

A few years ago, I had a nasty fall. I don't remember much before that, but I found some of my old poems and would like to work with those more seriously now
