Time Changes

It’s funny how time changes
Once two lovers, now we are two distant strangers
Our dreams were once the same
Now it seems our dreams have changed.

How you been? a thought remains
I didn’t mean to cause you pain
Though what we mean, and what we do
Are often polar opposites, that’s nothing new.

It’s just strange being estranged from you
When we use to be together, in nearly everything we’d do
How peculiar it is, when those to whom we are closest
Are the ones we must dismiss when friendship seems quite hopeless.

Time

Wasting time?
Not wasting mine
I’m racing time
Till the end of mine.

I know in the end time will beat me
But don’t want to be spending mine cheaply
Let me have a good time treat me
Be a friend of mine don’t cheat me.

I’ve a hunger in my belly
Can you feed me time tell me?
Time will you befriend me?
Before time, undoubtedly, makes you an enemy.

Those Old Days

I love those old days
Of living it up
Hitting hard some days
Not giving a fuck.
Bunch of messers
Bunch of mad nuts
Those days were precious 
Those days were us.

Getting up to madness
Getting up to mischief
There would be sadness
If those days were finished
They’ve calmed a little
No doubting that
But I love the times
We bring the madness back.

Responsibilities now
They can tie me down
Comes to the small session
Not always around
But give me a decent crew
A good excuse
And I’m ready and eager
To fecking let loose.

Bring the old us back
Let rip, a wild session
Laughter, drink , chat
And a shit load of messing
I loved those days
Living life with you
Those days slowly fade
Now and then we renew.

I love moving forward
Love having new goals to attack
Though when won, the best reward
For me, is always, to go a little back.

This One Scares Me

I get wary

This one scares me

Start acting contrary

Fear I’m away with the fairies.






I get nervous

Do myself a diservice

As I have to face the question

What if she’s messing?






I’ve to choose a direction

Would she just waste my time?

Would she do the same thing

If she knew the weights on my mind?




What if she’s not?

And I make the wrong call?

Unknowingly risking the lot

I’d never knowingly, ever risk at all.

They Beat Us Down

They beat us down
And they pull us apart
They tell us now
We shouldn’t trust our hearts.
Tell us how
We can’t escape loves scars
On we plough
With our fate in the stars.

Why should I heed
To what negative voices say?
When my heart leads
I know I must obey.
If love recedes
Let them laugh upon that day
For so many highs I did breathe
When I kneeled, and bowed, to its way.
