Destroyed By Time?<\/p>\n
Could it be? It was all so simple then.
\nCould time have rewritten every line?
\nYou and I, together until the end.
\nA life much sweeter than wine.<\/p>\n
Just misty, water colored memories.
\nAll that\u2019s left of the way we were.
\nSomething changed. Better remedies?
\nNo,— only pain and tragedy did occur.<\/p>\n
Something changed in the whisper of time.
\nI will never hold you and love you again.
\nThe memories have become a living shrine.
\nA symbol of what might have been.<\/p>\n
Karma has reversed its course on me.
\nIt must be a wheel within a wheel.
\nThings are not the way they used to be.
\nI can no longer stay on an even keel.<\/p>\n
Turn back time and let\u2019s try it again.
\nThere has got to be a better way for us.
\nBut then, I wouldn\u2019t know where to begin?
\nI would fear for another total bust.<\/p>\n
Oh emotions, why torture my heart?
\nPunishment for my choices in life.
\nIt is the result that\u2019s tearing me apart.
\nI cannot rise above the pain and strife.<\/p>\n
What could have been and never was.
\nIt is a loss that I cannot overcome.
\nI can dream of raising above.
\nWhile, in truth, you were the only one.<\/p>\n
Put me down in the Book Of Tragedy\u2019s.
\nAn entire chapter to do me justice.
\nExplain how I still love you madly.
\nThen, destroy me. Leave me restless.<\/p>\n
Screaming, with no way out.
\nA living horror, buried by emotions.
\nStraining to give my final shout!!
\nI LOVE YOU!!— I need a love potion.<\/p>\n
