There Was A Time

There was a time

You would have moved heaven and Earth

To satisfy my desires.

A time you would have taken a week

To show me how much

You loved me.

 

Now one minute is too long

Moving anything is too much

You’ve done what you are able

And even all that was all too much.

Love, to you, is ruthless and evil

Thus, only found

In the weakest of fools.

 

Someday you will realize

Even you are human

Capable of making monumental mistakes

That have nothing to do with

How much you love someone

And everything to do with how human you are.

 

There was a time you loved me

Wanted me more than you wanted anything.

That time is long gone.
