Time
I wonder how these days of old
Can hold me so fast in their grasp
All I should never have said and done
Too many dark secrets untold
This heavy curtain may fall some day
And reveal what I have become
My flaws, my fears, my cruelties,
My memories might all fade away
Can you tell what I would be
If the rain could wash me clean
Of everything I’ve seen and done,
Everything but me?
