rewind

rewind the act
the blunder in my plans
i should have stayed and bend
the therapy was on the table
but i scuffed it with a swipe
the spilled milk un-mopped and untucked
i slammed the door and flew away
if i could only take it back
that exact moment of my mistake
and trusted you with the advice
