Evanescence

If we can relive yesterday once more
If we can escape this dystopian fate
Could it be too little too late?

Faded copies of a make-believe passion
You and I against the evanescence
Strangers that got left behind in this disintegration

Misconstrued words and a weary heart
Quivering shadows of our former selves
We let it all slip away, through these wounded hands

Love

LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilised races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
