Waisting time in matters which we can't define
Ruining oneself on the thought that one wants to rewind

But time is gone and has passed
Only glimpses of happiness and the fear that they won't last

Refusing to take kindness from brightness
Settling on the comfort of darkness in sight as the eyes pinch together with tightness

Stubborn as a stain that quickly tarnished, like the enemies confound

What can one do in times of sorrowful concern
Mortified, looking on as helpless without a place to turn, not that it would help the one who is belligerently firm
Getting tearful as one sees nothing but the honest attempt unearned
