It wont take long
To see how it went wrong.
Slandered and defeated
This trust of mine is depleted.
And I'll say in disgust
Those far off days in August
Brought me a great deal of joy
But what they didn't destroy
Was left to rot and burn,
Hopeless and no return.
And while the dead angel flies
Rust runs from our eyes.
I just want you to know
This isn't how I wanted to go,
It just happened this way
On that sweet day in May
When blood turned to wine
And we made that long climb
To heights unseen,
Precious and clean.
Forever is only a lie
Like that glimmer of fate in your eye
That shone down on me
That I believed I could see
