IF I COULD

Heartbreak

I wish I could rewind the days, And take your tears into my hands, Erase the wounds in endless ways, But lose the joy I understand. The sadness carved you into me, It shaped the love I still hold tight, Without the pain I would not see, The beauty born from every night. I'd trade the ache for one more smile, But then I'd lose the ghost of you, The sorrow stretched for every mile, Is all I have to pull me through. So let the clock keep moving on, I'll keep the scars and all the ache, Because the joy I built upon, Was born the day my heart would break.
