Hourglass of Easy Life

Contributed by SugimotoYouki on Thursday, 26th July 2007 @ 11:54:57 PM in AEST
Topic: Nostalgic

Hidden in the shades
A bench stood lonely
Withering away
And with it an old lady
So far away from home
Her face long forgotten
The heart as shallow as a hole
Memories are fading
Lot of friends have died
Life has long since passed

And sulking there she wondered

Could life have been that easy
If she hadn't made it so hard?
Time will soon have passed
What had she done?
Stood aside just watching
Not woken up to take control

When she was young
Life was just so much fun
Drinking, laughing, passing time
Even love was just a game
Nothing for the faint of heart
They all played along together
While ignoring feelings all along
But they hadn't known
For how they'd gain
Nothing but a bunch of pain

Would she've done better now, she wondered

Could life be just that easy
If one didn't make it so hard?
Time will soon be passing
And what is one to do?
Stand aside just watching
Or wake up and take control?

Looking back now in these days
Her life's been a waste
Just waiting for her time to come
It had all ran by at once
Now she sat here grieving
For her fault's can't be undone
Kids just watch her closely
Do not walk this same wrong way
Life your life the fullest
Don't just give it up!

What will you choose, I wonder

Life will really be that easy
If you won't make it too hard
Time will soon start passing
And you know just what to do
Don't stand aside just watching
Wake up now and take control!
