Time

Tick tock...tick tock...
life is counting down on your internal clock.

All of my life,I was living in a lie.
It seems that my childhood has flown right by.

Memories which were as if they occurred yesterday,
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.

People you once knew
walk by without a clue.

The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.

Rum,Whiskey or a bottle of scotch,
None cant help cause your heart is botched.

No amount of joints and bongs ,
can right where you belong 

You got your success but lost your love ,
Cause the time you took flew like a dove .

She couldn't wait 
Cause her parents were getting late.

Years fly...love fades ...friends die...
and you never know when you'll say your last goodbye.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
spend it with loved ones and cherish what was once mine.

Or to go back even more,
being a kid in a candy store.

How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was real.

But back to reality...back to today,
family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.

Tick tock...tick tock...
how I wish I could control this clock.
