[ Ages ]

ages long since past
since a lonely night
when it could not last
when nothing could be right

ages since you cared
since you showed a sign
that your heart still dared
to attach itself to mine

ages sine you knew
what you did to me
to a heart so blue
so soaked in misery

ages long since gone
to not be taken back
and so with every dawn
my heart has one more crack

ages since I dreamed
to ever marry you
far as sweet as you seemed
your heart was never true

ages since I fell
for your charming ways
for the lies you’d tell
my heart was in a haze

ages long since lost
still every night I cry
feelings long since tossed
still I can’t say good-bye
