The Heart's Recycling
Recycling is turning trash into later lost, each time losing a little
This law will always remain true even past life's mysterious riddle
Thus eternal life
One of returning nights
Is forever destined to decay
Replacing the fullness of deaths’ glorious day
With the emptiness of material goods
Pondering If only I could
Go back, yet the past hath cast a shadow of light
For what once a fight
Hast turned into hope of a future bright
Thinking what seemed useful
As the proof for future versions fruitful
Holding the past to what is to come hoping it'll cling
Oh what a wishful thing
Worrying not what a true eye sees
Or how to satisfy the mind’s true needs
Because the truth of all ends
Is too much to live, and too much to mend
So lies we fill with the little past that remains
Attempting to forget everything even that we are all the same
Forgetting with minuscule pennies
And fights that are so petty
All a collective disguise
For the disgust of inside
Lying to yourself and the world
Acting as the old
Even though the new is less than claimed
And life is therefore forever changed
