Rewind

by Sarah Boom

Rewind

Unbreak this broken heart of mine
Rewind the tears I've cried through time
Then take your gentle loving touch
And let me know you still care so much
Tell me how easy life can be
Even when the beauty cannot be seen
Take the hardships that I've endured
And make it so they exist no more
Take this awful, beautiful life
Let me know it's worth living
From my hand, take this dull knife
And hold me until I cry
As my tears are flowing down
Let me know there are people around
Who are willing to give everything they can
Just so I could be happy again
But this is a sight I just can not see
Perhaps I'm blind to all good things
Never can I recall such despair
As what I'm feeling without you here
I always thought I'd be fine alone
I'm a fighter, that's what I'm told
But once again I'm proving you all wrong
Because I've been broken all along.

Of tears or blood, tears win out in my book.

Of tears or blood, blood wins out everytime in my book, unfortunately. I have to admit, after reading the first few lines of this poem I did not think I would end up liking it very much. But I did end up liking it, particularly the middle of the poem, the lines: "But this is a sight I just can not see; Perhaps I'm blind to all good things". Great ending too; a fine smack of reality right in the face - I always love that... Very well done.
