Abysmal Aging

Should I be worried 
Should I be scared 
As the memories of hugging
Eludes me

Should I be worried
Should I now scream 
At the gates of the Goddess 
Abandoning me

Should I be worried 
Should I so swear 
Never again to desire 
A woman's hand

Should I be worried 
Should I resent 
Giving up the Nectar –
Her divine touch

Should I be worried 
Should I be scared 
As the memories of you
Rapidly fades
