Our time together has been lovely
Every day better than the last

But now that I am leaving
Your memory turns to sand

I tried to grasp you firmly
But you slipped trough my grasp

I wish for things to be differently
But this is my last chance

To tell you my feelings
Before I depart

To pack up these memories
Before I embark
A child turns from his full plate
Goes off to play

A greedy teen licks it clean
And asks for more

A man who cannot taste
Takes what he can before leaving for work

A grown man takes what he gets
And enjoys every drop of the taste
At that time
With a selfish command
You were there
Feeding me your warmth

You never left
Even when I slept
You were there
Waiting for my wake

I was weak
Nobody wanted me
You were there
Always with me

When all was said and done
And those times were gone
You were there
And never left

Of all of those there
None really stayed
You were there
And never left

Even when I ran
To explore other land
You were there
Waiting for me to land

Even when you are gone
Six feet under ground
You are still here
Waiting for me patiently
When the mask falls
What will await?

Would we all pretend to be blind
And some how unite?

Or will we become rejects of each other
And unfriend our own brothers?
