the beautiful & the damned
I never thought
we were supposed to go
backwards
but eventually the time comes
a point in time
that really has no definition
where you realize
regression is greater
than reality
so what can you do
except face the music
begin to dance again
taking you back to a point in time
where we lived
for the moment
just like we do today
only back then it was beautiful
and romantic
and the world as we knew it
was a happier place
august two thousand twenty-four
