That Final Close

As faithful as time can only ever be There is what time can call a final close Are there years when a year we see? Are you as faithful where time only rose? Faithful were days to give us years Faithful were ways we know to live by Olden debts for younger tears To only have answers asking more whys And we bear what we cannot bare Of that we serve beyond our worth We are diminish though we flare We know hate because we love Can you promise me something you cannot fulfill? Why do we promise for sometimes to fail? Have you a cup to know to fill...by your will? Or have you a cure... that one solemn ail? Are you faithful to time to one day see? That yesterday for when tomorrow rose As faithful as time can only ever be Have you that time we call a final close?
