Gone

A garden green now weeds and thorns,
A life once happy now tattered and torn,
A flower once blooming has withered away,
A magical night has turned into a tiring new day.
A bright young face now wrinkled with age,
A wonderful movie start now stuck on a second class stage.
A warm day turned into a freezing night,
A brave person now runs in fright.
A freshly painted house now peeling and dirty,
A sucessful person now is unworthy.
A strong marriage now broken and weak,
A wonderful future now is bleak,
Things that should have been are not,
I guess that’s what we get for thought.
