You didn’t value my life, my time, my aging. You still don’t understand What you took from me. You don’t understand How each year in a woman’s life, Is worth 10 of a man’s. You think time spent with you Should have been time’s payment. But you didn’t pay me enough. The thing you bought, My life’s time, Is worth 30 times thirty years of your own.

Life’s Time Gross Value
You didn’t value my life, my time, my aging. You still don’t understand What you took from me. You don’t understand How each year in a woman’s life, Is worth 10 of a man’s. You think time spent with you Should have been time’s payment. But you didn’t pay me enough. The thing you bought, My life’s time, Is worth 30 times thirty years of your own.
