Hinder (Exito) Poem by G J Salgado

Something about you is kinda sketchy
You're weighing on my heart very heavy
You crept into every crevice of my skin
I've mistaken you for a crawling being
I never knew that I'd ever be a survivor
I look back and wished that I could've saved her
But she's trapped within time
I wish I could go back and change everything and make it mine
Maybe then we would be safe
If I could go back in time to change her ways
The waves of the ocean could've saved me
If only I could save her and all that we would be
Had I known then what I know now
But her and I were trapped between time some how
I know that I can change it all within time
Through all the things that have became mine
Time is still the one that leaves us within
Perhaps we both can learn how to live without
Translations from my former self have spoken from the grave
Unmarked, untouched, and nothing left to be saved
The hands of truth unwind
But the moon never left us behind
It's reflection there inside of our eyes
It flew upon the wings of the butterflies
Bringing new life into the world
Singing new songs upon the lips of an innocent little girl
The music was her keeper
Only I could keep her
So she kept me inside her heart
Though we were the same we were still galaxies far apart
Certain things in life weren't so kind
The clock had found us and it did rewind
Changing the night of all things unseen
Reversing us and all that was always in between
I've dreamt of such a place
My soul rearranged among the same face
Never wanting me to leave always wanting me to stay
I looked up and howled at the moon then I finally ran away
