All That Is All That Was

A perception is simply a reflection of shadows...

All that is all that was

Never quite seeing but never quite having

All I ever wanted was a time to live

Never once did I wish to utter your name

Yet here you are in front of my dreams

All that is, all that was

You forever lost me

When you lost yourself

Never quite hearing yet never quite touching

Our hearts separated by walls of glass

You lost yourself

And dragged me down

Never wishing harm

You inflicted it upon me

I still see your scars

But as a reflection as me

All that is all that was

You never quite tasted me yet you always smelled of regret

You're a blind old man

I am a crying young lady

Our hearts separated by walls of glass

Never seeing our true selves

Always seeing what never is true

In either me or you

We will always see another

Yet our future will one day be clear

Until then I say to you

All that is all that was

Come back to me and be forever by my side

Least I never see you again in time

Sometimes - even when you SEE both sides - life just won't let go...sigh
