song of lost decades revisited

epiphany that lied to me so very soft

because i was becoming what i dreaded 
to the point of unravel bounding so very fast 

past the eloquence of any hope of summer echo
i knew you were leaving so soon into afternoon daze

when it would be so hard to walk past what we wanted so
and it would be years before we could look at this loss clear

with eyes that shed tears of not seeing what future tears reflected.
