Reflective Memories

Reflective Memories The dark light of loneliness Shining off of reflective memories All of the saddest moments of my life The times I wanted to die The times I fought back for one more breath Memories of my still birth so many years ago My first lost love when I was only six The dog my father had put down while I was at school My mother's death when I needed her the most Lies that people have to me to keep me quiet If the universe would end tomorrow If I would struggle for my last breath I would have something to say To let everyone how I felt about my life I say just one line of three little words Those would be “It's about time” Then I could rest with the pain behind me And it's about time
