Time is fleeting
Mistakes repeating
With days you want to erase
Memories abound
Sight and sound
Every look upon one's face
Details we forget
Recollections of regret
We master the art of pride
A painted smile
Fades after awhile
Tears bursting from inside
Arms embrace
Words soothing grace
Holds us another day
Time is fleeting
Emotions repeating
It’s always been that way
