“Before We Fell In Love” (c)1-19-94 MSK
The painting used to be stunning,
Now it is shallow and pale.
What was once strong and firm,
Stands undecided and frail.
Anxiously awaiting the feast
Doesn’t seem worth the hassle.
These rooms so dark and lonely,
Were once a mighty castle.
The pool is deep,
It goes on forever.
Things don’t really change,
Only how we wish to see.
She used to be so beautiful,
He was so gentle and kind.
They wish not to see each other now,
To leave all their past behind.
Summer seemed to last forever,
Years pass in the blink of an eye.
When old friends come to visit,
You can’t wait to say good-bye.
The pool is deep,
The grass is always greener.
I was who I am
Before we fell in love.
