I'll rent yesterday for promises
turtlepoet

yeah
 1
I didn't want to
 2
                and a part of me
 3
                                        wishes
 4
wishes I could
 5
        take back yesterday
 6
keep it
 7
         hold it
 8
                  bring life back
 9
                                        to what
 10
 
 
                                                    we
 11
 
 
                                                        destroyed
 12
 
 
when I said
 13
          I won't hold the decision
 14
                                                           to abort
 15
against you
 16
                  I meant it
 17
                                 and I won't
 18
            but
 19
when I say
 20
            that this was the first
 21
                                                       and
 22
last time
 23
              I meant it
 24
                                and it is
 25
 
 
I wish I could take back yesterday
 26
but I guess I'll let you keep the past
 27
as long as you promise I have the future

Sorry, I just find these layouts detract from reading

the words are good, but unknown is right, the layout makes it hard to stay focused and really grasp the full meaning of the poem. it's distracting.

I enjoyed this, a 9 from me. I love this style and do not find it difficult,as one of my main Poetic influences, Patrick Jones, writes in the same way for some of his poems. I liked the words, and the layout.
