Time & A g a i n

Forwarded notes & torn love letters
Burned edges & ripped pages
Blank lines & forced scribbles
- A frustration for naught

Wasted ink & stained stationeries
Scented candles masked w/ smoke
Lolled paraphernalia & messed up bed
- A faithless saint for memoirs

White dipped fingernail tips
Orange smeared thin lips
Added w/ a dab of expensive perfume
- A debut w/o spotlight

Ransacked treasury & stolen carriages
Fed up staff & exonerated criminals
Unlawful judges & unfair jury
- A lost cause for pragmatism

But we will always need them
- the b r o k e n h e a r t e d
- the i d e a l i s t
- the s t r a n g e r
- the v i c t i m

For time & again,
The clock to keep ticking
The seasons to pass
For time & again.

To become & be called
- the h e a r t b r e a k e r
- the r e a l i s t
- the f r i e n d
- the v i l l a i n

Pairs. Game over.
