Restless nights and guarded days
chastise a heart that has strayed.
And you vow to mend your ways,
yet sins await penance paid.
Months quickly morph into years,
pressures build, and nerves get raw.
And laden with fears and tears,
fantasies and dreams withdraw.
Empty lies shadow your past,
cast by promises pending.
And the years slip by so fast,
you fear your time is ending.
Today is left to fate's whim;
forever friendships break.
And passion's flame grows so dim,
you can't see past the heartache.
O'er the years, even Hope frays,
for you can't postpone old age.
And you're running out of days
till you must exit life's stage.
