it slowly fades and then it's space is occupied by another
something far worse than ever imagined.
time progresses it's degree
and then it hollows out,
and then it fades.
it strikes as inviting,
something you'd want;
time presumes and it soon rears it's ugly head
and then it bites,
and then it heals.
this is love/ or not
this is fear/ or hate.
it's the becoming of everything,
the ending of everything;
precious at one time,
unwanted the next moment
this is life/ and death
this is birth/ and beyond.
it appears innocent,
and then innocence is stolen.
it blankets both,
but only warms one.
it becomes a test of strength,
and weakness.
times pulls it up,
slowly, then harshly down,
sometimes up again.
this is love/ or was it
this is fear/ and such anger.
what's gone is gone and that's the end of it.
those things were done,
and said,
and felt,
and known,
but now is the end of it.
happy for one minute,
tortured for life.
this is the beginning/ and the end.
