Time’s Changed Us

Many leaves fallen down on the street we used to stroll,
The rusting fences and lamps we used to pass,
The roads have changed and so have ours,
The road so long, promised to end in a beautiful place,
only to lead to two separate ways,

Love, once so timeless, now it’s lifeless,
Oath, once so ageless, now it’s faithless,

Bewildering, how the ticking time has witnessed the way we evolved into two different souls while living in the same world,
Flickering, how the stars shone above us when we danced with different persons on the stage of our first dance,

Life, once so well-planned, now it’s so damned,
Dreams, once right in hand, now it’s all gone,

We used to build the memories together, only for us to try to forget them now,
We used to paint the landscape together, only for us to let it dulled by the passing time,
We used to grow the flowers together, only for us to leave them dead under the burning sun,

I wonder why it’s easy for you to replace us,
why it’s easy for you to fly when I’m in combust,

In the echoes of your wedding bell,
Here I am, still bruising in your hell,
