Take Me Back

Take me back
to the days when my 
eyes had dreams,
not tears. 

Take me back
to the days when my 
heart bled poetry, 
not pain. 

Take me back
to the days 
when all I had
was flowers,
not thorns.

Take me back 
to the days when my 
smile brightened up
the universe. 

Memories of the good old days
will never fade away,
but the pain will.
