Promises broke promises,

Words have struck hard,

Mountains moved,

Castles trembled,

And fear has arrived. 


Tears washed words,

Dreams went to dream,

Feelings shook,

Heart broke,

And horror grew deep.


Dismay pushed determination,

Hopes ran to rust,

Loyalty vanished,

Heroism neglected,

And care has withered.


Family colors faded,

Grew hair showed up,

Dark wrinkles,

Burned skins,

And love never reappeared.


Holidays knocked doors,

Songs took over houses,

Empty presents,

Crashed cars,

And fires burned homes.


Meters counted candles,

Just like our days,

Happy birthdays,

Bitter days,

Where's death to celebrate?


Feared growing alone,

Always feared to die,

In love,

In intimacy,

Every day was a lie.


This is life,

That I never knew,

How to live,

Or where to live,

Or if anything in it has ever been new.
