If I could, I would erase one year,
I would stop the crying of the salty tear.
I can wipe it away for a moment or two,
Chase away the darkness, the pain, the blue.
Brightness and warmth fill with joy the air,
Thoughts of happiness, love, family and care.
For this short time I am now at peace,
The screaming, the ache, it all comes to cease.
Yet all too soon clouds start to come,
They block the energy, the light of the sun.
I run and run full of despair,
It is useles I fall, fall through the air.
Brightness and warmth turn to sorrow so deep,
Memories, love and hope the jewels grasped to keep.
I do not have the power of time,
Cannot change what has happened, the right is not mine.
It is life in darkness, that is what's here,
And so rolls on the salty tear.
