15. IN THIS MOMENT
Time
Waits for no one,
Will stop at nothing just to show ya
What could've been.
Life, Love, Fate
Are unforgiving
If you wait to do some living.
Time will take it all
Before it begins,
And now you're sitting on this bar stool
Contemplating this.
Will you make a move
Or let her slip right through
Your fingertips?
In this moment,
In your imagination,
You flip through made-up pages
Of a nameless history.
In this moment
The past and present meet.
Everything you'd thought you'd think
Is drowned out
By the words she speaks.
Does she notice that
An audience is listening?
Two years ago
You were wondering
What you could have done
Two years before,
And two years from now
You'll be thinking about how
You're still trying to figure it out.
Perhaps you'll never find
A state of mind
Or different route
Unless you find a way
To break the chains
That keep you bound
In this moment.
Wait! Don't do it!
It's not worth the pain again,
The black hole in your brain again.
There's gotta be a better way to live,
Cause' you're not really living
In this moment.more
