Do All Things Go Away?


Do all things go away,
like a whisper in the wind,
that can only go so far,
until it's blown apart again?
I remember better times,
but, I really don't know when.
Even memories fade away,
as my hopes begin to dim.

Do all things go away,
as light escapes a star?
Adrift in our own space,
in search of who we are.
It's life that drives us on,
but pain that keeps us far,
apart from love that heals,
and cools the burning scars.

Do all things go away?
as you grow they disappear,
like rain into the ground,
like the love we once held dear.
If I make it through today,
will it last another year?
Will I find my way again,
say the words you want to hear?
