Tangible Lies

It's been said before
We only love that which cannot last.
You were so obviously fading,
I couldn't help myself.

And oh, the time we could have saved
had you been tangible.

And oh, the tears to never fall
if I were true.

Apologies mean nothing
in today's world of

Professional liars
and
Guns for hire.

But you can't say I haven't tried.
