MY LIFE FOR TIME TO TAKE

by Ruth Ann Christopher - Not entered

The price that I must pay to live...
  just isn't.. worth my time..
for hell is too high a price to pay...
  for a heaven..I can't find...
Time was very precious back...
  when.. love and I first met...
I never dreamed.. that time would carve...
  a memory of regret...
Time took your heart..and it took mine...
  to mold us.. into one...
then time took that heart.. along with you...
  left me..alone..with none...
Time took my feelings..and my thoughts...
  and scrambled them about...
Time turned my whole world..up-side-down...
  then it turned it..in-side-out...
I watched time.. go creeping by...
  forever..endlessly...
and I watched the hell..it left behind...
  destroy whats left of me...
reliving.. memories..in my mind...
  that I wish I could change...
but I knew time..left nothing there...
  for me to rearrange...
and now I find..time..standing still...
  too late..I clearly see...
all of the things..I took the time...
  to let time take from me...
But.. time won't take..this hell away...
  this hell..that I can't shake...
and all thats left..I find..this time...
  is my life..for time..to take.

Reason for writing:

    Some people waste more time..spending time.. on time that is
 already spent..
