Facts & Figures (Poetry)

You are not
the way you were

I am less
than I once was

Our faces fade
and figures blur

For such is life
and what it does ...

If nothing changed
and time stood still

Would things be better
or go worse?

With all those endless
years to kill

Eternal youth
might seem a curse

Age has altered
me and you

Let’s accept it
and not fight

There is nothing
we can do

But simply dream
away the night
