Again

Again and again I gaze around
Searching for the missing
Moment that has been denied
For years quickly passed by.

Wondering what game
Time has played with life
To leave us in this web
With no chance of escape.

Doomed to repeat mistakes
Time and time again
Till there is no more chance
To prove good intentions.

No opportunity to reclaim
Hearts beaten into submission
By those given trust blindly
Only to break a spirit.

A many times broken soul lies
On the ground at their feet
Waiting to be trodden upon again
Waiting for the next pain.

Again and again I gaze back
On the years time forgot
Moments all sacrificed
Despair all that remains.
