Time Travel
Chiao's Notebook
If I could go back
In time
To see you, and say
I'm sorry
Then erase what came next,
I would in a heartbeat.
Erase the pain
Erase the grief
Make everything aseptic
And pristine.
I wouldn't let you see
What came next.
I'd shield your eyes
And cover your heart.
Then I'd run back
To the present
To make sure my trick
Had worked.
Returning once again
To the wretched past
I'd then erase it all.
Delete it
Shred it
Obliterate every last part of it.
To be safe in the
Here and now.
Then with a whisper
And a kiss
I'd erase you
Then erase me.
