billowing black clouds,
a silly sneeze of a rain;
such an absurd scene!

Billing pages of times past kept
And times still yet to come
Hold precious thoughts of love gained and lost
And mistakes that can't be undone.

Billing pages each numbered
Like the days that number life,
Count joy and sorrow, yesterday and tomorrow,
Every day and every night.

Billowing pages kept in chapter
Tell the story of a day
When hearts where yet unbroken
And nightmares went away.

Billing pages all that's left
Of what once used to be,
Everything that made life worth living
Now just pages of memory.
