Altered Time

Time dances by and changes transpire So many possessions to desire Gaze into the future and who do you perceive Only shadows of who you used to be An illusion of emergent life Who are you now? Who am I now? A creation of altered time. Situations carve the soul Darkness within tries to control Gaze into the reflection of the premature past Once innocent, naïve, so eager to believe A closer glance reveals a glare A slight sense of despair Who are you now? Who am I now? A creation of altered time. My senses turn to pure blindness Why don't I know the way I feel? When I gaze I do not see I do not see who you used to be Your misty eyes do not faze me now Your whole persona isn't real What was once oh so bright turns to the darkness of night Who are you now? Who am I now? A creation of altered time. I once loved you with all my heart Only for you to tear it apart I can't believe I did not see I did not see who you would be One without feeling, one without care Now with someone other my heart I will share Don't try to come back, oh don't you dare What I have now is so rare A torch burns within my soul I have reached the ultimate goal Who are you now? Who am I now? We are a creation of altered time.
