Literature Text

Time slipped through our fingers,
Like smoke, through a fishing net,
And our hearts too young for sorrow
Spill over with regret.

We were playing at it, pretending.
While around us, your world was ending.

I think of you and wonder,
What kind of friend can I be?
When your dreams are the subject of plunder,
And your heart has lost its key.

We were playing at it, pretending.
While around us, your world was ending.

I have no power to heal it,
This sorrow that tortures you still,
So I look into other parts of your life
For a trivial need to fill.

We were playing at it, pretending.
While around us, your world was ending.

It seems like there's eons between us,
And I know I should be by your side,
Yet, I can't help but feel, as I lie in the dust
That the very best part of me died.

We were playing at it, pretending.
While around us, your world was ending.
