A poem of regret regarding words spoken (not a true story)
I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That forever changed our relationship.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And replace them with music and cherries.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That burned the cross between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And build a home of feathers and faith.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That threw a thick veil over your heart.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And show you sugar and confidence.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That dug the sea between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And fill it with kisses and forever.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That enraged you ever so rightfully.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And replace it with apple blossoms and caresses.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That quenched the last spark between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And dry your tears with love and moonbeams.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That ripped the innocence from you.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And replace it with softness and prayers.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That chaffed the memories between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And comfort you with clouds and sparrows.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That, like a shotgun blast, destroyed you.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And care for you with songs and springtime.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That melted the flames between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And ignite you with candlelight and oysters.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That carved my name from your heart.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And caress you with peaches and hope.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
That poured out the night between us.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
And ply you with chocolate and dances.

I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
I wish I could take it back...those words that I said...
I wish...oh how I wish I could take it back...
