Halves

Enduring contrast Pushed forward, clawed back Left a bitter taste Impending collapse Followed your warpath Haunted by the change that never lasts Needless nice-to-haves Dust and trampled grass Worse and better halves You're into all that Familiar contact Obsessed with all that softens middle age And melts inside Nostalgic eyes Taunted by the change that never lasts Needless nice-to-haves Dust and trampled grass Worse and better halves Change that never lasts Worse and better halves Suffer or compromise Hate what you feel inside Forever undecided I struggle to simplify my life
