"I Need More Time" is a poem expressing one's desire to make things right with the one he loves before he departs from this world.

————

I’m at the end of my rope,

my strategy has failed,

I’m trying to turn the hands on the clock back,

but I need more time.

I want to hear your sweet laughter,

see your beautiful smile,

hold you close in my arms

one last time.

I’m wishing on a star

to help me redo the past,

erasing all those pictures

of hurtful words we spoke.

A chance to wipe away

those tears from your eyes,

exclaiming “I love you” out loud

for the whole world to hear.

Leaving a trail of happy thoughts

to live within your heart,

holding on to hope

looking for a new approach.

Desperately wishing

to not to give up,

before I must depart.
