Change
Time is but an element of progression
And as times pass
You pray and fast
Hope that the good times outlast
The bad
As change comes
Friends become
Distant
Where in the past, they were consistent
Now, the resistance
Is quite persistent
Wishing that those,
Remain close
Though they won’t
I don’t
Want things to change
May they stay the same
Oh, what a philosophy
To break time’s traditions
It won’t happen
My heart hardens
Longs for affection
And wishing to find
A love, any love
Be it proud or bold
But, time unfolds
Bearing inexplicable incompleteness-
With-holding pleasure and purification
My life continues-
I am completely confused,
While time and change progress into infinity
