Love Stays, Everything Else Fades
Bittersweet
bitter
sweet
pain is
plain
and now
it is becoming
more apparent
than ever
the tragedy
of our love
we had hope
but it fades
and now
sadness grows
what used to be the
spark of what could
or might be
has flickered out
and now
the resignation of
what remains
of what is left
and time continues
its acceleration
the tragedy builds
and the love grows
lumps in the throat
beyond this
we are two inmates
who’ve found each other
in this cell
and love and won’t live to tell
much longer
cause time marches on
and not long
we will be gone
from the world
for good
forever
but
we can at least try
to strive to make
the connection last
an eternity
and that is the reason
we worship You.
