In That Time

[TheLizardKingMike]

In that time
We were inhabited by power
We were shaken
From deep sleep
By frightened farmers
And led through wet forests

We were dragged down
By the weight
From years of guilt
And perpetuated throughout it all
Are soft smug lies
From which evil is made

Come and look into my eyes
And tell me you don’t see it
Tell me that it’s gone
Say you don’t love me
And I will move on

I could show you paradise
An endless stroll in my garden
Or perhaps a trip to far Arden

For my love for you is stronger
Than any feelings
Between a man and a woman
For all of time

And if you can’t see it
And your love has faded
Then I was wrong

But how can you deny me
The satisfaction of knowing
It wasn’t meant to be

I need to know
If you will take me
Because there was a time
When I didn’t need to ask
I was a fool

Cut off
From true affection
Makes for a life
With no direction

All I want
Is a serious consideration
And if you approve
I will fill with elation

I cannot forget
What I never knew
And I will not forget
What I could have had with you
Don’t tell me it’s over
Before it began
Don’t tell me
I am out of your plan
I love you
