Have you lived in one of these 3 stages of life?


(A reflective voice whispers)


In the Dawn of a new feeling of Life, 

Maybe even at high school


Did you embrace one of its golden rules


To hold hands with someone you deemed so special 


Encouraged by first love's, sweet kiss


For it to then carry you through, to meet the super cool, Twilight of your Life


With the only true one, whose love has never cooled:


And if you're still incredibly lucky, brings you such bliss 


Or did the Shadows of Life appear 


Smiling like a Nazgûl

Like a dark thief at night


To take back God's divine gift, and leave you scrambling and grieving 


Daydreaming of the Dawn and Twilight of your Life


Before something cruel, caused you, to separate and drift


When everything seemed so perfect and nice 


Before the deep cut, of The Shadows of Life's


Sharp, ceremonial knife
