Tainted From a Broken Heart - Poems

We Once Lived

There was a time when we lived.....
We would joke, we would mock
We would laugh, we would play
We never looked where we walked.
We would chill with our friends and it would all be ok
We would go and get high, we would all find our way
We would fall deep in love, we would chase our desire
We would smoke, we would drink
We would hate, so we hurt, for our hearts were on fire
We would stand, we would fight
We were young, we were dumb.
Our lives sang through the night.

Now we are sung and we are numb.
Now we are old and we are wise
Now we hide or we run
Now we forgive, though our hearts are like ice
Now we search for a buzz, to mask the baggage we haul
Now we are either always searching or addicted to the fall
No matter how high we get, we are broken and lost
We lost touch with our friends, in fear we get crossed
Now we open our eyes when we walk so we are safe
Now we work and we sleep, then repeat when we wake
Now we are told how to think and we fall into place
But there was a time that we lived....
