If only Father Time wasn't irreversible

Closed minded conversations

Giving off bad vibrations  
The bleeding of a nation
Headline sensations
Stem from greek imitations

Over time love transmutes into hate somehow
Forced to use your name as a curse word now

I looked at your picture today and felt nothing for the first time
Felt deeply gratifying yet hollow like a piece of me had died
It ached like nothing had before but still I somehow couldn’t cry
No matter how hard I tried all I managed was a relieved sigh

They can no longer ensnare me
You think I’ll still believe them all
Don’t ever double dog dare me
