Time Carries On

Flames to dust;
Red to black;
Everything must fade in time,
Even the most beautiful rose
That the world has ever known......


This is how time moves..
This is how we must all live
And carry on -
A habit that's
Unchangeable.
But somehow,
Even though it's an inevitability,
I can't seem to bear the pain
Of having to see you,
Of wanting you,
Of needing you,
And just being left here,
Crushed by your carelessness
And oblivion...

As time goes by
And as you remain unaltered
By the feelings I release,
Hoping you'd realize,
Everything around us changes.
The leaves fall...
The petals wilt...
Friends become lovers...
Lovers become friends...
And we remain here
As friends,
Nothing more.

I look around me and I see –
Some have adjusted to the effects of time,
But some remain like me,
Unable to cope with the thought of change.
I know which road I'm supposed to take..
I know which path I'm supposed to move on.
But my feet can't take the step
To carry on without you,
Leaving me here
In the town of
Heartbreak.

So as the flames turn to dust,
And the petals fade from red to black,
So will my heart break
Leaving me here to wilt.

so i found another victim of incomplete love.its just making me stronger ,feeling that so many are having the tumor of love that the time has nothing much to do with.time can only curtain it a bit but deep down in heart what goes on just God knows.
try to find a better way to handle this and tell me too. :)
cathartic write, very nice!
