my closed eyes slowly open<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no matter what memento from <\/p>\n\n\n\n

seeking past glories to be ridiculed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

my time has nowhere to be nowadays <\/p>\n\n\n\n

precious though as it is to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it hurts sometimes to watch it wasted <\/p>\n\n\n\n

albeit far more from perfection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that i cannot change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace and blessings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
