If I Could Turn Back Time

Your song plays on repeat
And as I close my eyes
Feeling my heartbeat
Changing along with the beat of your music
I can almost hear your laugh
Or smell the lingering scent of tobacco
It shakes me to the core
I’ve been left to wonder why
How you left us all behind
If my words somehow reach you
I would want you to know
How thankful I am, and how much I love you
I wish it didn’t take you to leave us
For me to realize how much you struggled
Always laughing while internally battling your demons
If I could turn that clock back to
that fateful day, three years ago
I would change every decision I made that day
Those harsh words still haunting me,
crippling my mind, body, and soul with guilt.
