Peer in illusion vainly broken

I try to satiate, but all else now seems to immolate
I wanted something new with you
But now the world has split in two

Posit the memories

Nothing is forever

Simplification
Fill in the gaps

I watch reflections of past life
Met with regret and noble strife
And now it's spilling over
As Atlas shrugs his callused shoulder
And colors the sky grey

Nothing is forever

Silence may be my only confidant
Words unspoken clear the way
Nothing now to confess
Impasse - are we not?

Nescience, perhaps I imposed
Humility's love scorned
I'm standing in the falling rain
And in the absence of pain

Yet then I wake my eyes to see
The tears I've shed
The tears I've cried

Simplify and remove

Nothing is forever
