Our chronicle is plain, the verdict is signed
You were ever unwavering, I faltered behind
Adorned, I wore a crown of flawless mistake
In return, a long winter I caused for your sake
To the eyes of beholder, the palace stands tall
But the shadow in the mirror remembers the fall.
No jury could decree, a punishment for I chose
It’s harsh and slow bleeding that nobody knows
The world only applauds the calm current now
None can trace the stones of regret lying below
My conscience knows it I never forgave myself
For letting you fade from life consumed by grief.
You were always steady shore, I the restless tide
Erring, pulling away from what truly mattered
But shadows are stretching, with onset of twilight
So anger or discontent is vain in this fading light
What remains now are a few leftover evenings
A few cherished smiles, glowing past yesteryears.
So, let’s set aside burdens of yesterday’s pain
To find the naïve warmth of our friendship again
Let’s forget the old phantoms of our heavy past
And breathe life back into the friendship we lost.
