We Didn't Stand the Test of Time

our love feels lost now

covered in ash now

buried in the past where it will fossilize

and one day some great teacher

will discover our world beneath them

while digging for lost things to archive

the rocks will tell our story

the love we shared in portraits

tethered by the weather they endured

people will talk of a great love

that time felt it had to cut short

but they'll swear in was in the name of love

and maybe i'll never know why

you chose to burn it down

whatever your reasons

covered in ash now

buried in the past now
