Better

My eyes adjust to the dark

But to blink hurts my eyes

And it's not going to help

With me turning on the lights



With each blink I take

I think to myself

Where did the good life go



Maybe it's getting better?



I think to myself

Where did you go

All the times that I had you



Maybe I could have had better?



I think to myself

Is life really that bad

To give up something I liked



For something even better?



For whatever it is

Or whatever it may become

A chapter has closed

A new one has begun



To be or not to be

So often coined the phrase

My life was at one time good



But I've moved on to a better phase

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Or at least I'd like to think so. Things get better with time...like wine :)
