It´s clear: My image has faded.
All that´s left are some negligible memories
More fragile than a flaking painting;
Obviously, this wasn´t made for eternity.
My image is tainted
By too many Maybes and Ought-To-Bes.
With fickle moments of bliss I became acquainted
Hand in hand with gained and lost serenity.
Soon my image will be obliterated.
Closing the book on Misses and Might-Have-Beens,
Just one more opportunity at once tasted, then wasted,
A projection screen for dreaming - or a whole lost entirety.
