Between youth and as old age
Is all too easily  bridged 
As tomorrows become yesterdays

The Path Is Chosen By Our Fate

the path
that we take
is chosen
by our fate
when we
deny our
mistakes but
do not
let death
catch you,
by surprise

The suffering ends right now
Don’t want to see you
I’m contented without you
Get out of my existence

Silently now
I tiptoe near,
Longing for his touch.

Escape is impossible.
Release me never.

Fate gives up hope,
hope for the future,
and happiness in life,
a good lead to follow
when life's a handful the swallow.
