If I could turn...

If I could turn

I'll turn back the hands of time,

And cherish every time that you were mine,

Not a moment will be taken for granted,

As every moment will be placed on the high term,

Loving you will be my new anthem,

As worshipping, you will be a chorus till my last breath.

If I could turn

I'll turn the hands of fate,

Making it abide by my rules like a clean slate,

Never will I run late,

As my cravings for you will turn me into a slave.

If I could turn

I wouldn't have turned right,

I would have stayed right there not to miss the light,

Never would I have turned to miss your sight,

As loving you would have been my new insight.

If I could turn

I wouldn't have turned back at you,

Leaving you vulnerable to every animal in the zoo,

But now all that happened was because I neglected you,

If I can make it back in time, my aim will be never to lose you.

If I could turn

You wouldn't have to go suffering,

As my country will be your new sovereign,

And every part of me you can crush in,

As I will bear every pain because I caused it.

If I could turn

I wouldn't have let the glory and fame get to me,

Forgetting that the people I train represent part of me,

I would have tread carefully and given all I have,

With no mindset of getting something back.

If I could turn

I wouldn't have done all that I did,

I would have been calm and learned from others' misdeeds,

But now I have to pay for my sins,

Bowing my head I lost all energy to scream.

If I could turn

I would have respected every being on earth,

And do to them all that I can bear,

Knowing fully that karma is always near,

As it will serve me my dish when I least expect.

Inspiration came from listening to R-kelly's music If I could turn. I just ignited the fire to the volcano, hope it is up to your taste? @Olasquare
