Time takes its toll
On a withered dream
The love couldn’t hold
Another failure tale told

It is a page
Full of regrets
Untested tests
Knees buckled
Eyes couldn’t stop crying

No method of apology
Just reflections in an anthology
Turned my back on the past
Solemnly, it is no longer welcome

Expression of depression
Lacked in certain direction
Stricken by unusual infection
Not allowed to feel such affection

Found the deepest hole
Burying my dream
No time for lies untold
Nothing more is to unfold

The truth’s unfeeling and cold
No room to show emotion
No formula for the magic love potion
Can no longer maintain this backward motion

Withering away
This love is depleted
Withering dream
Horribly misled
Withering love
Rapidly retreated

Time takes its toll
On a withered dream
The love wasn’t meant to hold
Another sad story told
