Hapless

Hapless days have come and passed
In memory they remain but only in my mind
Every moment every task assigned 
Looking back its picture perfect
Though only pain is what it brought 
Born a saint though with every sin I become a sinner
And sinners are born only to live and die 
There was once a day or so I thought that the air we breathe that is now is poison was once not
We promised a success but failure was all we showed
We built up walls to protect but it constricted us in the end
We were the protectors now the bond is surely broken 
And without purpose a soul can only wander 
And so I'm fleeting just as time
