If only we could go back in time
and right the wrongs of the past.
How delightful a place
the world would be
without all the pain and the strife.
Unfortunately, this is not the case
with each moment we try to erase.
We go back to a circumstance
and wish for another chance.
As the years pass by,
we still often wonder why.
Why did it happen?
How could I not know?
The effect on us
is everlasting,
controllable at best.
No matter how
we try
to deny the pain.
It can be felt
in a tear
from the eye
or from
a glimpse of the past.
At the end
of the day,
we are just
another victim of circumstance.
