What used to be

lives in your eyes,

a tarnished key

holds all demise.

Yesterdays dream

lets out a sigh,

a silent scream

mutes inner cries.

Blink away tears

that smudge all gain,

erase old fears

that carry pain.

Cover both ears

feeling insane,

feel sorrow near

on this torn lane.

A time that passed

new lessons learned,

heartbeats are slashed

emotions burned.

Wishes have crashed

intentions turned,

forgiveness splashed

true love is earned.

Grateful for times

that brought me light,

pushed my steep climbs

warmed up my nights.

Secured my prime

made all wrongs right,

memories chime

my soul shines bright.
