Borrowed Time

Borrowed Time

                                        Is time spent in memories past;
                                        A past that's held unwanted feelings;
                                        Feelings from another that didn't last;
                                        Because what love had, lost its healing.

                                        Borrowed time comes when feelings are missed;
                                        And the sadness of love is from another's life;
                                        A life that brought harmonious bliss;
                                        From a time when feelongs meant a sacrafice.

                                        Those sacrafices pushed beyond all limits;
                                        Limits that made the heart grow thinner;
                                        Thinner beyond what love permits;
                                        For from borrowed time one will forever know..
