Was this simply a predestination or one fate made true? It all happened so fast, just as my eyes can blink from green to blue Paper flowers unfolding; artificial growth of life's prose that show rhymes have nothing worthy or anew Tampering with the speed of this time machine, I have lost the governor's screw I'm shaken by how heavy this hammer hits, and then the bell rings as though it was threw Maybe it's just the pointless pounding in my head or the hatred my heart has walked through? The sun's getting really low now, while my memories are shaded from its view Except for all the ones that you and I have faded to If you're reading this, also know that I miss you But like the fire I'm sitting by, my heart is broken, much like the sticks that started it; in two
