Time is an affliction

Folder: 
Mentality & Growth

Channel me back a year

Where butterflies were over-populated

And all thoughts were clear 

 

When light governed shadows

While nerves were serene,

And all minds were hollow

 

Love came easy

Ignorance prevented worry

With the exception of leaving

 

Tears were forbidden 

And drowning was rare

Now tears are common

And now nature itself is drowning

Along with me, which happens quite often

Well Written

A sad take on love.  It seems that when love first blooms, nothing can go wrong, and everything is alright with the world.  But time brings problems, and time breeds hate.  Thought provoking poem.  I enjoyed it.
