Restless nights and guarded days;
makes it clear that you have strayed.
And you vow to mend your ways,
yet, sins await penance paid.
Years of lies shadow the past,
cast by promises pending.
And good times go by so fast,
you realize they're ending.
Months quickly morph into years,
pressures build, and nerves get raw.
And laden with fears and tears,
failing dreams start to withdraw.
Today is left to fate's whim,
as forever friendships break.
And passion's flame is so dim,
all you can see is heartache.
O'er the years, even hope frays,
time cannot postpone old age.
And you're running out of days
till your soul must leave life's stage.
