At The End

the rusty necklace
which was thrown into the sea
the wilted roses
that lose the petals each day
the torn bouquet wrapper
in the dustbin

a dusty photo
at the bottom of the pile
the foolish dreams 
that had broken
the song lyrics
which all sound the same

stuck in an hourglass
so far ahead
at the end, 
everything will be forgotten

it doesn't matter
you do you
grow up and start anew
