Everything is nonsense
But you:
The trinkets and the gold,
The diamonds and the dust;
The castle walls we build,
And all that turns to rust.
The words we speak so loud,
And those we bury deep;
The things we seek to waste,
And everything we keep.
The script we act each day,
The faces that we show;
Favours that we garner,
And those we keep at bay.
Pockets filled with silver,
And hearts so full of pride;
All we show to others,
That say ‘at least we tried’.
Yes, everything is nonsense,
Nothing counts in time,
Everything is nonsense,
But you.
