I'm frayed
around the edges,
Time has taken
heavy toll...
It seems its
been successful,
If indeed, that
was its goal.
I'm frayed
around the edges,
It shows up in
my old face...
In my thoughts,
the things I do,
From life and
its frantic pace.
My
disposition somewhat changed,
All due to
circumstance...
From choices
made, all these long years,
When life was
luck and chance.
The flash of
radiant smile of old,
That brought
smiles in return...
Is slower
now, when it appears,
Like something I must
earn.
Yet despite all
the fray that shows,
And all the
faults you see...
Deep down
inside, there still resides,
That
which was always me.
I'm frayed
around the edges yet,
Emotions
brightly glow...
With passion and
the love I crave,
No doubt, the
last to go.
