Together every second we could get
we conquered all the troubles at hand.
Only time had the heart to tell us
the truth of our brokenness, my friend.
Side by side, we laughed at adversity.
We sang every song of lovers like us.
Love and intimacy was a wine
and we were so intoxicated.
Only time had the heart to sober us.
Together every second we could get
we conquered each other, my friend.
The lips that had tasted so sweet
brought me my greatest adversity.
Our lovers’ song reached the heavens
and like Lucifer we fell, my friend.
You left with your pride and I
was left with brokenness-
a truth of deceit and pain
Only time could make me feel.
**Only time had the heart to be real.
