What we did is now done
Where we went is bygone
There is no going back
to that pubescent dawn
What we had is long lost
How we lived oft forsworn
Every living soul cursed
with the gift of being born
What we said is erased
Every minced word thus mute
Leaving only the rife
dying notes of the flute
With but one gasp at hand
When all trances are riven
The last resting hope is
to just be forgiven
