No Going Back

Jae

Just Another Escapist


I do believe the time for hope has passed

Desire she may to hear its lost refrain

Our friendship like the clouds is overcast

Abandoned love can only end in rain

Consider now the change that time revealed

No outcome of our battle left to chance

Deep wounds kept hidden underneath the shield

Which broke against the splint'ring of the lance

Authentic-borne ambition to renew

The long abandoned kinship that was ours

May be her picturesque horizon view

While under me impassive chasms glower

My arrow fired words will ever miss

All falling silent in our dark abyss
