Ashen Goodbyes

Could the clock turn back,
what would remain?
Could we change our mistakes
without going insane?

If I could reach back through,
the years would shatter
Turning to ash in my palms, 
the lonely dust to scatter.

Too many wrongdoings,
I could roll the dice
Too many impossible outcomes,
I can't afford the price.

I want to be okay with the past
But I've nowhere to start.
Sitting here, the ash scattered
trying to mend my broken heart.

I shouldn't have loved him.
I knew better than it.
But I can't change the past,
Only to the future can I commit.

I'd turn back the clock
and swiftly erase just this one
but how could that possibly
save me from coming undone?
