Time

Those who spend their days Studying the hourglass; Are stuck in an emotional haze, Watching their very lives pass! I will not waste my time, In a relationship that is at the brink of destruction. Everyone knows that I didn’t commit the crime, And my head needed reconstruction! “Time” took me away from my daughters, And that was what nearly destroyed me. Mentally, I was left for the slaughter, But I hold on for the sake of my family! I used time to my advantage, I started utilizing the time I had. My wounded heart wears a bandage, And over time sought refuge in a pen and a pad!
