Back In Time

As I look In this mirror The image of what once was And will never be Shadows my mind As I take a turn Back in time. Back to when we were happy Back to when we were blue And back to when I loved you. Now I sit here and cry As I wonder What went wrong While you're in the future With another girl A girl in place of me. Don't you love me? Don't you even care? You broke my heart Yet, I still love you And even care for you After we went out separate ways You, to the future I, to the past As I sit here In this world of yesterday My lips painted a crimson hue Tears streaking my face I am taken back To yesterday?

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah. you don't know!
i took it from them long time gone.
in a dingey classroom
they laughed.
later that night, on the wet sand by the beach
I found a discarded bra
among the cat-tails,
then went back to the brokendown car
to make out with her sister.
