You can cry about it, but you can't
change the past
You can lament
but you can't get anything back
not the words
not the kisses
not the hugs
that lingered on your shoulder
You can lay it down
every now and then
choose not to carry
the heavy of it
choose not to pick
at the scab of it
choose not to brood
the details of it
but you can't change the past
you can't change the past
you can't change anything
You can lay it down, though
every now and then
you can; I know you can
