If you’d please grant me your wares
I know they are priceless
Yet if you could offer me credit
I’d take anything you offer
for more moments with him.
Time, how frugal you were with us
I thought we had more pieces of you banked
Into our accounts of dreams and future goals
We were so sure we budgeted enough to insure us for a lifetime
But you had a different plan
Rendering us bankrupt before we played our full game.
Oh, time how cruel you can be
I know we borrowed, robbed and try to cheat our way to get more of you
But it was all for Love.
So, it was fair. Right?
For love, we put in all our chips
Rested on faith
Leaned on the Lord
Prayed for more of you to enter our lives
To, bless us with the manifestation of aspirations discussed
To create a blending of the best parts of us
More boundless bliss
But our fingertips lost our grip on you
We tried everything to hold onto you
And you, Time, you fled us in the night
Blindsighted by your trickery
I was knocked senseless into the reality
That you were indeed not on my side.
Time…you fickle spinster of joy and pain
What more could I have done?
I was loyal to you and cherished you to the fullest
I packed much purpose into the gift you gave me with him
And you played with me.
Dangled the carrot and I bit down so hard and fast
That we were speechless with happiness
Now, Time, I know I gripped you by the reins
And begged you to grant me things you could not
For you knew the answers and held them close to your heart
So I know I’m asking for an oasis in the desert of my mind
That yearns for his love to keep refreshing me
But please allow my irrational plea
And wish that I had more of you
For Us.
