Introspect
I find myself asking what direction my life is going in
How did I get myself into this emotional tailspin?
Why am I running through life like an aimless whirlwind?
It’s because I’ve realized that tomorrow is not a given.
At any moment life can end…
Or love can end…
For both will end.
See, before my heart knew real sorrow
Before my chest felt hollow
I used to live for tomorrow
Next week…
Next month…
Next year…
Trying vainly to borrow
More moments of life
More pleasures of love
That was a time when love was all that mattered in life
That was a time when I had a family – two kids and a wife
So life was all that mattered
But soon all that was shattered
Even still I have to remind myself that I’m not supposed to care
Even still I think about the past and have the NERVE to shed a tear
Even still I feel my ring but my finger remains bare
Even still I feel you in my heart though you have made it clear…
That you…
Were never…
Really…
Ever…
There.
