The Price We Paid

12/5/2022

Forever was a breath too far

We tried and tried and tried so hard

This age was found for naught

Our souls lost the battle so viciously fought

In tomorrow’s shadow, we stood alarmed

Fortifications secured within each other’s hearts

We each took the blows and each took our shots

We each made excuses to explain the loss

Our regrets came so quickly and from the start

The distance so far grown will keep us apart

The story of us found the bill and the cost

And it erased so much good without mercy, or pause.
