A Lot Has Changed

Once upon a time are those times now We were too young to understand That there’s something we needed more? Did we share love truly from the heart? A lot has changed, since time passed by The rains have come and long gone These leaves, once fresh, are withering That tree that formed for us, a shade Now stand without leaves or beauty A lot has changed, since time passed by The summer has come, drying up all things My bones crack beneath my shrinking flesh My lips bear wounds without moisture My eyes are dim and sight difficult A lot has changed, since time passed by In my heart are memories of time long gone Those times mean more to me I can least say You hope to slip and I cannot hold you back If you’re treated badly please, come home A lot may’ve changed; yet we can go back in time
