Stolen Time

I’ve seen the chaos from the outside looking in

The violent ones hellbent on bringing everything to an end

Trapped in the mirror

It’s battered and old

This is my desperate attempt to atone

For all those things I never did

And all the lies I told instead

I never knew that it would come to this

With future still uncertain

We’re running out of options

It all seems lost

But I haven’t given up

I keep on grasping at your ashes

I can’t believe it’s over and done with

It fell apart so imperfect

They should have took me instead, was I not worth it?

How can they plead ignorance?

While they kick them when they’re down

A disgrace to what we embody

The pain is growing inside

Our bonds begin to subside

the thought of being alone

With no love in my life

The thought of being alone

Makes me paralyzed

And at that moment in time

Distraught by your sacrifice

My world was wilting

The colors fading away

-

I would give anything to hear those three words again

You pled “be strong”

But how can I

when you were my strength?

Tell me how can I?

I lied

and said it’s for the best

but we both know that it’s not

-

Your eyes forsaken

You’re not who you used to be

You gave it all to make things right

your choice is crushing me

I won’t forget you

Stolen time will never tell

I feel so selfish, but

This is our last farewell

I keep on grasping at your ashes

I can’t believe it’s over and done with

It fell apart so imperfect

They should have took me instead, was I not worth it?

It’s so imperfect

It wasn’t worth it
