Years



The time that seems to disappear into thin air,
is replaced by memories of a life that
once combined with time, everyone that watched their
precious bonds fall apart, shattered

Broken bonds were mended with the same time used
to disrupt the bridge between childhood and adulthood
Cracking the memories piece by piece until they all disappeared
The time fading into oblivion, as if it were never there

As time watches from the shadows, it shed a single tear
A tear that will fall upon the ground and delve till it finds a root
A root that will grow a beautiful new life

A life that can never promise to be happy
But a life that can promise to live
