That was then
and now it’s over
all that was is gone for good—
the honey days and stinking clovers
drifted by as well they should.

Time trickles slowly now
forming spikes
and stalactites
in that frozen cave
you call your heart.

That was then
and now its over
there is no more time
for me to brood—
all that was is gone forever—
that was then
and now it’s heaven.
