In relative obscurity we dwell
comitted to the page and left behind,
where once you deemed us worthy of a tell
how easily you put us out of mind.

As toys outgrown consigned to what has passed,
what favor that was curried from your hand
gave rise to hope and dreams of "Everlast"
undone it seems by tiny grains of sand.

Where once we stood impassioned, strong, and loud
your hubris leaves us wanting for an ear,
anonymous within this growing crowd
of tales to gather dust, year after year.

Through us to "Everlast" our hopes still cling,
yet know, and thus accept what change may bring.

that's so true, not much choice but to accept what comes that is not under our control

Through us to "Everlast" our hopes still cling,
yet know, and thus accept what change may bring
excessive pride or ambition usually leads to downfalls or tragedy
nonetheless, you do examine hope, yet deep sadness gathered
round my heart for a deeper loss for both concerned hereā€¦

an poignant and deeply moving write
