Beat of My Heart

Spend day after day Watching time slip away Wasn't sure I'd make it this long So many choices wrong Feeling old age Start to creep My bones weep To the dreams I hoped to find Pictures saved just to remind Slowly seemed to get lost in my mind As youth left me behind So many things I thought age brings Had to learn first hand Guess it makes it easier to understand Love I thought I found Life put her in the ground Lessons learned From times I've been burnt Memories start to fill my mind Scars left there to remind Wasn't always strong Times I was wrong Took some time Commented to my rhyme Days turn into night But the memories still burn bright So long ago Things I thought I would know Now I just go with the flow Times i thought I knew it all Just to watch my dreams fall Slowly age steals my why's Can only see how time flies My dreams start to fade time may not of made My eyes to see, The truths as they may be But the fire remains the same Still stuck inside that flame Off all the things I see Lessons learned were never free I carry them to this day Memories are the price I pay For Times not meant to stay Of tomorrow I have no fear Gone is all I've held dear No reason for a tear It is all a part of being me Each thing I did see Is all just a part Of the beat of my heart
