Fleeting

If nothing good can last Then nothing can ever be so good again We use to say “the day doesn’t end until the night ends Well I’m caught in this perpetual darkness With sleepless days and misunderstandings And dreams that come with eyes wide awake Take it for what you will take it all so well Did you laugh when it fell Like a crash within a flash you were gone Take it for granted, take it for what you will Will this medicine put me to sleep or will I weep Loud cries and dying feelings lie within a broken heart a broken soul Carved out with memories of you All reincarnated within simple tears pooled on a lonely pillow as I lie alone I couldn’t let go, every time I seen you I’m sure I started to glow With a red so bright and hopes in eyes that wish only not to cry With tears failing to come replaced with burning eyes I still remember, I still remember you I live the events over and over again Some have been through war Battles lost and won Laughs had, bad times filled with my bads But few have lost it, few have lost the thing that means the most Few have watched it blaze so bright, a testament, a guiding light Now only a flicker of a candle with fleeting stray light Off in the distance to make us remember I’m crawling back there now, to a beautiful somewhere I’ll wait there through winter’s bitter cold And watch as the days grow old I’ll live in a memory that won’t die Never forget my old ties One day we’ll all be back again and relive days of old As the tears fall each one matching a passing year I’ll wait for a life time so I can say it one last time before I die And hear it fall upon your ears The candle will flicker and dim to a dull red Hope that I heard what you said And then awaken deaf ears Again it’s said I love you my dear
