If I could hold time, in the palm of my hands If only for a moment,I wonder what I would do..... WOuld I raise the dead? Just fight it out? To say all the things that haunt me still? Would I raise you up, just to bury you again this time digging the hole deeper in the hopes that the further under you go, the quicker I can fill this viod left behind? If I could hold time in the palm of my hand, If only for a moment... Would I return to yesterday? To the one that got away? Would I run the 30 blocks in the pouring rain just to tell you I GET IT. That yes, I hate you but I love you, That I want you more than you will ever be able to cOncieve? Would I kiss those lips and touch the face of the man who showed me what I really needed? If I could hold time in the palm of my hand If only for a moment... Would I confront my abusers? Just to spit in their eyes.To tell them they will NEVER be able to hurt me. They can leave their marks, cut my skin, steal my innocence and rape my soul, but they will never get inside. Will I laugh at the pathetic forms they have become,watch them bursting into flames because I am strong, I prevailed? If I could hold time in the palm of my hands If only for a moment....... Would I go back to the day I met you? The day my life was saved? From that very first moment I knew, I knew you . I knew you could see past the battered wall i painstakingly built with arms so weary of the fight. I knew you had the stregnth to open my eyes, with stand my fury, take my tempest and set me free from all the pain. You were the one to teach me to trust again. If I could hold time in the palm of my hands If only for a moment..... Would I go back, just a little to the time I realised that after all these years, YOU alone still had the power to move me. The passion , the emotional currents I feel for you, stronger than a force ten hurricane, and it took me 5 long years to see, to trust, to learn to feel again, If I could return to then, would I tell you how much you mean. If I could hold time in the palm of my hands If only for a minute..... WOuld I try to take away all my pain? Would I try to escape the demons that haunt me still? Or would I simply revel in the weightlessness of it all. Smiling within from the knowledge that...... I wouldn't change a thing?Birth sign: Scorpio
