The Past Was the Mountain

You were a primary school teacher and I was a high school teacher Closer and closer We were stretched in time Loving each other was our prime target Then Love met a mountain Set in our ways The past always preys on the outcome We knew the outcome because The past was the mountain between us! Further and further We were stretched in time Still hoping we forgot about our prime target Love met reality The past is a weak reason to Let a season of love past but The grip of the past was too strong! It was the mountain between us We walked with our heads held high The day we said goodbye We both knew the outcome before we started! The past was the mountain between us Even though love can be a fountain of youth In reality, the past is a tool of destruction in many ways! Mark Frank Copyright 2022
