There is no war. There is no destruction
No rebellion. No protests
No tragedy except the one we’re going through
No adventure. No death
We let the days pass us by
And they all look the same to me
Nothing to bring us together or tear us apart
Nothing to make a memory
Here we come. There we leave
No traces to retrace
And just like us, time will come and go
With not a moment to miss
My path will be mine. Yours will be yours
And so will be our lives
Isn’t that how it is supposed to be?
We follow the trail they left for us
Never charting our own path
Too afraid to fail or fall
Now we look in each other’s eyes
Momentarily
May be the last time that we behold
Freedom as freedom
Life as life. Love as love
Happiness as it is
When all of this will be done
I will wither and you will rot
All that will be left behind
Will be broken pieces of poetry
Awesome poem! I like the theme and metaphors.

Amazing poetry, Frank. I read it a second and then a third time. I’ll read it again tomorrow with fresh eyes. Broken pieces of poetry.
