Hey, come hang out with me, and let’s watch some TV
“I’m on a streak, just one more match” is what you say to me
Now it’s late, the show is done’
And I watched it with no one
Let’s go for a jog, and do two miles, it will take but just a while.
“I’m messaging a friend of mine” you tell me with a smile
I get on the treadmill, just to use up some spare time
Come into the living room, and I will tell stories all true
You reply “I’m sure I’ve heard,all those tales before from you”
Come help me work on the car
I’ll show you what to do
“Im busy on YouTube right now, and watching videos”
I work alone, finish the car, as another day it goes
Now I can’t run much anymore, and time has slowed me down
“Why don’t you come and jog with me?” You ask me with a frown
I can’t remember stories, I had lots just for you
“How come no more stories are ever told by you? Is it because they were not true?”
Is all I hear from you
Time is cruel it carries on, with no consideration true
My strength and my own stamina, and memory is going too
My child I tried so very hard, just to make you see, how much time I sacrificed and it was all for thee, now the person I once was becomes a memory...the time I tried to give you child.....oh so desperately, as life it takes this very time, slowly day by day
This life I tried to give you time, life now takes it all from me....
