Lost in Time

So in this life I walk backwards

I walk to a happier time

somewhere unbeknownst to all

but in my heart still alive

somewhere where memories thrive

where laughter and joy makes me cry

I hear little chattering voices and know

this is where I belong

why must this clock turn forward

why can’t it just drop me off

keep ticking backward I say

erase all these tears from my eyes

make my heart full again

make this nightmare disappear

go away I yell

stop time before it happens again

drop me off in the memory of my heart

the happy place

where voices were still part of my life

where all my memories are still alive

where that little voice still whispers

“I love you daddy, I wish you were here”
