Lost, Decades gone and passed, A life of memories with no recollection of their own. Tear tracks and unanswered prayers, Faith shattered and torn, The bitter taste of mere fallacies, Lies echoing at dawn, Half-truths oh so foolishly believed.

Bereft, Eternally captured in a second. Harsh breaths dying out in empty rooms, Mistakes that could not be foretold, Regrets buried down in aching bones. Dark stained souls pleading forlorn Asking for second chances never to be granted.
