The day wanes on bitter sweet memories
Of yesterday
The crushing sense of loss
Yet the sun would set behind the trees
Time is striding in a straight direction
We measure that in days and nights
The lies of today
Would bear on the truths of yesterday
The space is getting smaller
Is breathing more difficult either
Add pauses and surprises
Would not I leave it to you
To go by the rhythm of your heart beat
Let's leave what is dispensable
Letting go is accepting the defeat
What we call indispensable
Is the dispensable indeed
Lure the heart to some new love
This nature is loosing the beauty it once had
