there once was a place were it was loved; there once were faces that were filled with such love; their
faces radiated off the shimmering glasses which we consumed from; glasses filled high;
and strong minds pointed stretched to the skies; we were once there
; physically and mentally there; with hope in our essence;
there was once a time; where even the faces shimmered; now their dull and glazed over;
eyes be seen; lives be lost; in the shattered reminiscence;
tales were to be told; lives were to be lived; yet the fantasy of life was corrupted;
with vile creations; the ones who spoke of the tales; were strange from us;
for they did not realize; their doings; for what was lost in the stories; we were the ones lost;
our lives were tokens; that were not yet processed;
for the creators; for the curious; and for the weak; life was meant to be told; but not like this;
it was to be much more; now theres nothing; nothing left to keep; or to hold;
everything is gone; destroyed and taken; theres no hope; for look at the mugs;
they are empty and broken; like us.
