"YEARS IN BETWEEN"

All this happened so quickly,
a piece of hope, something to look
forward to.
I'd mock the world and give it to you.
All this time in between that
scared you so, if you were so much
younger I could tell you were
stronger still.

You called my bluff, you had the
better hand and I couldn't fight back
enough. The years in between
made me this way somehow.

The piece of hope invested in this,
a heart as strong, I got back without
my sanity lost.
Was I a fool to think something better?
All this time in between that scared
you so, if I was the eldest here
I knew I could become stronger
with you.

You noticed my cheat, you have
the better sight, and my sleeves were full
of memories. The years in between
made this dark, you thought my
intentions for you were just as dark.

You called my bluff, with no god
above, and just dirt below in my world,
I have no one to pray to. The years
in between came out somehow, the years
I had over you should've been gone by now.
