25. One thing leads to another

one thing leads to another and our hearts grow cold

towards the things we once loved; cherished like gold

the look once filled with passion loses its warmth

and becomes a mere glance when paths sometimes cross

one thing leads to another and our minds completely block

memories filled with beauty; now replaced with a flower torn

the pretty words that once made them feel whole

turn into harsh curses and nothing more

one thing leads to another and our souls get rotten with mold

the body that once craved connection becomes an empty log

the feeling of making everyone feel happy and adored

gets left with mere ashes of a light never shone

one thing leads to another and our feelings turn into rots

once affected by simple words now untouchable with promises raw

the effort of once making most of our time gone

separation, just a barrier society keeps on hold

one thing leads to another and our thoughts become a door

to places that we always despised; a black whole

the heart once that once beat for the love of God

becomes dark with remnants of unburnt coal

one thing leads to another and we can't recognize our bonds

with people or things that we once kept close

we feel the pressure growing in our flesh and bones

yet we ignore it, till it swallows our mind and heart as whole

one thing leads to another and our hearts grow cold

towards the things we once loved; cherished like gold
