Poems

Time Travel

By Daniela Andreatos

I wish that I had never opened my eyes.
Wishing to go back to the time where I was naive.
To the time where I could not see the deceiver standing before me.
But I was younger then, not being able to comprehend.
We were closer then .
Wishing to go back in time.

I wish that my eyes would have remained sealed.
Blasting off into a time that is no now.
When he would go stargazing late at night with me.
When everything was peaceful and right .
Those were the good times where I couldn't understand.
Wishing I could go back in time.

I wish that my eyes would have remained closed.
I remember the times where we would talk like there was no tomorrow.
The gigantic sparkling smiles that would spread across our faces.
The saccharine smell of baked goods that we had made on Christmas morning.
The time where I could not perceive the fabricator before me.
Wishing to go back In time.

I wish that my eyes would have remained shut.
I am deprived of a time machine.
Wanting things to go back to how they used to be.
He was my sun after the stormy weather.
The time where I could not understand the fibber facing me.
Wishing to go back in time.

I wish that my eyes would have remained screwed.
The bone crushing hugs that would leave me gasping for air.
That is one of the things that I miss the most.
That was in the past, this is the present.
Because now I can see the liar staring down at me.
Wishing to go back in time.

I wish that my eyes would have remained fastened.
The time where I felt like I could tell him any and everything.
To the time where my small arms were always clinging tightly to his legs never wanting to let go.
This is why I want a time machine.
Because now I know how deceitful he is.
Wishing to go back in time.

I wish that WE could go back
Because father I miss you.
Wishing to go back in time.
