Future shock

We were talking
Last night while on the phone
About the worry
We both feel when we’re alone

You were saying

it’s ok and you know your fears

When the love you feel

Is like sticking fingers in your ears

But I was thinking

That we no longer have so much time

The future’s run far from us

While we we yet but in our prime

She was crying

When I happened on her at her door

Destination Hell ahead

Too late to change - can’t do no more

And then they were fighting

About the anger lies and deceit

Truth denied, future cancelled

Extinguished life without a missed beat
