THERE WAS A TIME



Water on the stove bubbling and steaming.
I'm evaporating.
Tears from within overflow to the outer texture of my still photo.
I'm missing the responsibility of fatherhood with you.
Faith can only trick my mind for so long!
I'm balding in the areas of us,
hope leaves me useless like a fine tooth comb.

THERE WAS A TIME.....

Why is this evil matrix creating mazes of fortitude?
What did I do to receive first class tickets to witness my own solitude?
Solitude of bondage from the truth of us!

THERE WAS A TIME.....

I'm longing for understanding of memories that strip me of the wealth that made me rich.
i would eat the rubbish from alleys of the slums.
I would walk the hottest terrains shoeless.
I would vow to silence and let disconnect be my voice....
My drum
All just for the warmth of your devotion to my title!

THERE WAS A TIME...

THERE WAS A TIME...

There was a time I felt like the only man in your life!
I felt like the breath fogged on the window pane!
ALIVE and YOUR FATHER!

THERE WAS A TIME....
