Take me back

Take me back to that night in 1995

Before I was granted a life.

Before my hands were able to hold.

Before my shell was granted a soul.

Take me back to 2004 

Before the little body became bruised and sore.

Before the secret was given away.

Before their fights every night and day.

Take me back to 2010

Before a boy was mistaken for a man.

Before a girl gave him everything she's got.

Before he ran away with the whole lot.

Take me back to 2012

Before the best true friends were left.

Before the careless spill of the first blood.

Before home's door was slammed shut.

Take me back to January

Before I knew the life that I'm living now would ever belong to me.

Before I stopped meaning the things I say and have said.

Before I started mixing reality with the things in my head.
