Best of times or End of time.

It was the best of times.
It was the end of time.
Time flys by as you're alone with your mind.

Only involved now in the following lines.
Sitting around as you're
staring through the looking glass.

Shining it's edges that were once coated in gold leaf.

Caressing the now tarnished brassed patina.

Almost as if you're rubbing away your misery,

but as the tarned patina's hue turns silvery

you reach a moment of clarity.

What's the point?

Afterwards, you join the circle
and you pass the joint.
Times move quick.
They're moving too fast!
If you don't give it your all
you'll get stuck in the past.
Stomp your foot to the floor!
Throw your fists to the air!
Break down closed doors!

Make them know that you're there!
More or less
things happen for a reason.

It's up to you find them.

If you could only see them...
I've written before of Legion.
The thing of fairy tales that no one seems to believe in.
Despite your thoughts of my intentions,
all of my actions are to produce a grin.
Grim as they may be,
perspicacity will reign free above my hypocrisy!
Not a single negative thought is going to conquer over me!
This is MY domain!
Don't you dare forget that!
As far as that goes.
I'll be happy if my words
are something everyone knows.
Knowing is only half the battle though.
I'd be fine segregated.

Herding cattle on my own

while fending off those Big Cats.
You know the ones that use their big paws
and their claws and break every last straw.
Probably not, but

they're pretty tricky
and their attitudes about priorities,
well those.. I suppose are strictly dickly.

I digress.
The Big Cat's time is done.
He was only looking out for number one.
Now, see I have my right hand man
and his main squeeze.
These two always seem
like they're as happy as can be.
I love them.
This remains true.
Individually they're great!

The chemistry shared by these two though

shit, if you only knew.
As for a main squeeze.
Lets talk about mine!

Hmm let's see,
Seems she's doing just fine.
She's me in a previous life.
Thankfully in this one though
I'll be glad to call her, wife.
Yeah there's fights,

but we stay calm

and keep it concise.

I'll kiss your forehead

and tell you good night,
please just smile,

I'll know we'll be alright.

This is my story

and you've become apart of it.
It's a survival game now.

Also a battle of our wits.
Change can often be scary
and at times you may feel wary.

To ammend for that which may falter:

"I promise if you place your hand in mine,

I'll be damned and turn back time."
