I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away.
With every fleeting day,
The countdown ticks,
and the woodworm picks.
 
I let it slip away.
We deplete into decay.
A heartbreak needs a fix.
Sticky roll pops claim extra licks.

I let it slip away.
Vowed to repay them that day.
I value how you play your tricks.
Yet, what kicks, it sticks!

I let it slip away.
Bear your wings and fly.
Can you hold a rucksack of bricks?
Rose ovens heat furnace skips.

I let it slip away.
When the boys play
City life pops, spills, and kicks. 
till they're three ruby clicks.
