Time always marches on by
You stopped, grief and more
Yet stayed, never restarted
Your life has more in store
I waited quietly, for you
Then protested, growing pain
Yet still you did not move
Loving zeal is now plain
Our souls combined in fire
Stand now in dull broken ash
You can fix this, not I
Yet, you ready to dash
I hand you tools of love
Even the how-to-solve guide
But you say, “This was fun
I guess away I will slide”
Try to save us, I beg
“Guess we weren’t to be”
Give. Don’t always take
Is that too high of fee?
Over now. Sorrow. Please try.
You say this opened your eyes
But seem glad to say bye
Make me wonder your lies.
Goodbye my love, my heart.
Your eager goodbye, opens me
My love shall briefly wait
Then new love I WILL SEE.
