Ode to a fool

Waste time on pointless dreams
The course is long it seems
And the end is just in sight.
Time heals, strength grows,
Love dies God knows
But that doesn't make it right.

And so it's come to pass
You've reached a greener grass
Gambled your life away.
Did you win the toss?
Were you prepared for such a loss
Or was the price really to high to pay?

Swore blind nothing would change,
With this 'Old for new' exchange
Now no chance of reprieve.
It'll be hard I think you'll find
To forget all you've left behind
YOU pretend. I'm not that naive.
