Words of Life, Love and Praise

Time

How do you just walk away after 20 years?
Was it time well spent, or just time passing -
Days roll into months that somehow become years,
Till nothing remains of who you once were.
Emotional battle scars embedded on my soul
Held together by mere fragments of what used to be.
There was a time when I could see myself in your eyes-
We were so happy once….once upon a time.
Yes, back when we lived a fairy tale love...
Oh, but fairy tales are just pretty stories
in a world of make believe – and I wonder...
Was I just a pretty story that you wanted to read?
Will you ever again be my sweet, gentle prince,
Or just continue your reign as the dark evil magistrate?
And still the time passes.  No closer to resolution,
No closer to my dreams....no....closer.
And the minutes of my life just keep ticking away.
