Yourtimehascomeyouwouldn'tknowit

Your life has become a run on sentence        
       
I told you I wouldn't preach to you this time        
It is time for me to get out of your way        
       
As a substance abuser        
I fully understand the daily pitfalls        
It's Monday has now become as good of an excuse as any for you to pick up again        
         
I held on to you for dear life because        
it helps me hold onto me        
but it's you that has given up        
It's now become a matter of not what can I do for you        
but what I need to do for me        
       
It pains me to see you regress time after time        
I've convinced myself that I'm trying to help        
I'm not        
       
You speak of days gone by when we did our thing as it was yesterday        
Twenty five plus years have gone by son        
What day is it to you?        
       
You were not embarrassed as my shadow looked in your face trying to read you        
Your famous smile was gone        
       
I wanted you to see the smile on my face/ hear the songs we sing      
As she questions every little thing        
       
Instead...        
She watched you grin your teeth and try and play me        
For old times sake        
       
There's always a lesson to be learned; you became the study        
       
You asked for food but I can't feel your real hungry        
       
You never heard the disappointment in my voice        
or cared to look me in the eyes        
Your mission was clear and now...        
So is mine  

Your time has come but you wouldn't know it       
Peace be with you
