And so softened we are in the draw to close;
Quietened in voice but lost of mind.
For love has chipped away at our battlements
And left us raw, exposed.
And time ticks louder than it did before;
Its face lays full to bare.
For after it clocks passed this notch in the belt,
We will be left onwards, alone.
So hug and cry, and wonder why;
These hours will stay for a while.
But soon this time will be
Nought else but a memory
That stings in sorrowful love.
