Backspace

If I could turn back time

I would hit Backspace all day,

I put on Caps Lock

and SHOUT what I say.

I'd use the whole Alphabet

To tell you hello,

Press seven Numbers

Til you picked up the phone.

I'd Tab through the comments

I didn't want to hear,

And use the Arrow Keys

To drag your body near.

I would Delete the harsh words

I didn't mean to speak,

And Insert the "I love yous"

I before couldn't leak.

I would use Ctrl to

Keep reigns over my heart,

And I would Escape lies

That tore us apart.

I'd Print out your photo

And kiss it goodnight,

Use the Calculator

To check that we were right.

I'd paint you a picture

of us, you and me,

Then I'd hit Enter

Just so you would see.

Those are the things

I would do in my strife,

If the only Backspace

worked in real life.
