Corridors once marked the time

Where mortals held their stance

Are now just empty, barren halls

Arranged or happenstance?

Where once the ladies danced about

Carousing with their men

Drunk with laughter, lust and love

They would never see again

The warriors who held these walls

And built this great blockade

Were felled, against the demons

No match for the Devil’s brigade

Faded, into black and white

A silken rose, once sweet delight

Its colors, now ravished, bled apart

Time stands still, as does my heart

We were together, now I am one

This emptiness, can’t be undone

By memories, so long denied

They still lay heavy, deep inside

So let the clock ticktock away

Yes, I will wait for that fine day

When the time, at last, for me is right

Never again will I fade, into black and white

I do not understand
Why time passes by
Yet stands still

Why a moment can be fleeting
Yet we are caught in it

Why we hate to love
Yet love to hate

Is it that we are
Afraid of feeling the heartache
Of time gone by
But unafraid of causing the heartbreak
Without a moment’s loss

Afraid of defining our own worth
Within ourselves
But unafraid to define others inadequacies
As they stand before us

How can you say you are living a life
For the moments, the time
The love and the hate
The heartache and the heartbreak
Yet claim to have no life worth living
I do not understand

I am old but not so old

I have traveled to everywhere

And nowhere

From the beginning of time

To the ends of the Earth

I’ve encountered strange things

And run from the mundane

There is much before me

But nothing behind me

Though time has passed slowly

I am rapidly wasting away
