Forget

No no my friend. This is your bed.

So soiled you the sheets where you now lie.

The truth was free but you bought the lie.

Now you seek my hand. You need my help.

But I don’t care, this isn’t my affair.

I fear to meddle or get involved.

Lest on your cauldron my hand I scold.

You cooked it up and added the spice.

There in your pot you mixed wrong and right.

Ok ok, a little advice. Take the road least travelled.

Till you come to a town.

On the edge of this town a house can be found.

And in that house a man you may find.

Who has the power to turn back time.

So off he set his burden heavy.

But strong his will, his steps kept steady.

He came to the road that’s travelled little.

And made his way through throne and thistle.

He found a town and found a house.

He stood by the door and he called out.

Is this the place where some men come, when they regret the things they’ve done?

When no word or deed can repair.

The broken hearts of those they claim to care.

Is this the place where wrongs can fade?

Like turning back a books last page.

Is this the place where I may find?

A man with the power to turn back time?

This is the place, you’re more than welcome.

Most men do wrong but visit me seldom.

Swung open the door and out he came.

A man with a beard and a crooked frame.

I am the man you have come to find.

I have the power to turn back time.

You don’t need to say the things you’ve done.

I know too well why you have come.

Once was I flesh and man myself. But sin I not for power or wealth.

For love or fame. For gold or name.

I did not folly into shame.

This is why I have been chosen.

To take your heavy, rightful burden.

Place some here, beside my chair.

Take some up upon the stair.

If there is space, upon the shelf.

And what is left I’ll carry myself.

I have but one thing of you to ask.

Once you leave this least travelled path.

Is that you say to the first person you find.

There is a man, who can turn back time.

To get there you must take this road.

But why you took it, you will no longer know.

You will never remember what you have done.

It will be like your time, had just begun.
