Time Pries

Life is far too long to live with
these regrets that I collect
I’m lost in the dark
with no light at the end
Get used to loss,
cause it’s all you’ll know
Time pries from our hands
all that we hold
Sentenced to life, it hits hard
and returns each day worse than before
And so it goes, I face loss alone
Death, you can learn to accept,
or you can run from it
I’m used to loss,
cause it’s all I’ve known.
Time strips away,
all that I love
