One Too Many Times

entry picture

I’ve broke in one too many times,
Shattered the glass and cracked the tiles,
Just to rewind, pause, play and smile
At the moments that I wanted to live twice.

To feel the lost caress on my forehead,
To live with the ones who are now dead,
To grab hold of a slow-drifting hand,
And pull it to the greener side of the land.

My sleep gives these ripples through dreams,
That’s when I pray for the alarm not to scream,
That’s when I don’t want the visions to last;
I’m a burglar breaking into my own past.

I must know that I can’t change things,
Reverse the outcomes, feelings and endings,
That it’s just a familiar movie with a familiar cast;
I’m just a burglar breaking into my own past.
