A LOVE THAT NEVER GAVE

A LOVE THAT NEVER GAVE

"Credit he who loves you dearly. Cheers, you've avoided the worst of them"

Because of

A love that never gives

I always come to anger.

Greedy love

It never gives, it takes

There's nothing stranger.

Between each side

Enemies & friends side my trench.

"Age is more then just numbers, its the difference between the old and new"

Time pushes me old

Old age chases me slow.

Not new resembles the old

Like the stories being told.

Perhaps its time to part

Leave the old me for a new start.

Please forgive me for covering you up, I was just trying to secure your safety in God's hand. I miss you more with time, I imagine how big you would be right now. I'm crying as I speak, please, don't you cry along with me. I have made my peace with God. In my heart is where I hold you mine and I look forward in meeting you someday in time.

"Please forgive me for not giving a flying f&ck about reality"

I secret all that's mine in dreams
Away from real and it's fragment of time.
