Once
Once I saw the glint of the sun in your eyes
and the sparkle of the sea reflected in your smile
Once I saw all our yesterday's, and all our tomorrow's
captured in our hearts
But, the gods saw only what they could break and destroy
and they showed no mercy to achieve it
now, all that I see, and all that I know
is empty, dull and is no more
and my heart grieves to know it.
