Visiting The Past

Remember the broken heart and the broken soul...

We were young and naive
So full of passion
Living in the now
So full of trust
But never understanding

It was all temporary...

Platitudes fell from our gullets like eggs from spawning salmon
But we denied the truth
Ignored the scent of someone else's flesh on our skin
Turned away from the signs of implosion
Pretended we would last forever

It was all temporary...

Knife-like eyes cut pieces of us
Lava hot words
Burned as if we really cared
Rallying cries of lust
Just empty words that blew in the wind

It was all temporary...

We must learn from our past or be doomed to repeat our mistakes...
