take me back
a year ago
where i thought i was
living a dream
yet i ended up
as always
a used victim of lies
and lust

take me back
three years ago
when i was shown a world
of sex
of drugs
of loneliness
and told
"this is now your life"

take me back
five years ago
when i embraced
a world of darkness
where everyone hides
the truth
to hurt you
to bring you to ruin

take me back
seven years ago
when she moved away
when our worlds
changed
and we forgot to remember
each other

take me back
ten years ago
when my parents realized
i was different
when i knew
that i could never
be who they wanted

take me back
so that i may change
to avoid causing
pain
so that i may do
what i should have done
all along
