Soft Petals and Paradox

I can lay down a tear
But what good will it do.
I can mumble some words
But what will they really do for you?

I could make all this sadness my own.
I could sit you on top of that throne.
I could make all these troubles be eased
But who would it please?

There's somethin about the past
That won't go.
The present won't move at all
And the future's so slow.

Still tomorrow will come with no fear
And the way that we need is unclear
And it's the same thing year after year
And all that I have is this tear

And the end is so near

Hoping you'll have an excellent weekend. You could see by my photos that I have everything I want for the present ♥ :)
