Analysis of The Result of Your Decisions



You do not see
You cannot see
You will not see
I knew, I know
It is your time
The time in that
Works just the emotions
And every heartbeat
Instead of the intellect
Or vision to analyse,
The real and unreal things
The lovely words
Based on falsehood
That influence mind and heart
Making the blind
To see the dangers towards
The life
When someone needs
A companion of the real love
But not the companion
Of the beauty, time, status
Smart, young
And attractive body
Unfortunately, you come to know
When all the beauties disappear
And all warriors of that,
Leave you alone
To face and bear the burden
Of your loneliness
That all became the consequences
Of your life
You cannot recall your gone time
It is the result of your decisions
You obtained only this certificate.
