Unfortunately

I wish I could go back

in time and simply say “ I'm sorry” –

undo the things

regrettably I've done.

Not the big or the important ones –

that’d be unholy,

the simple ones

that would have changed entire worlds.  

But I can not

and that’s so cruel and so unfair

that we could not go back in time,

undo mistakes.

As the Creator such desired –

for us to always look

inside our past

but never to go back…
