I Watch

I sit and watch the time pass me by,
I sit and think, wondering why.

I can't find my dreams,
that once were so true.
Nothing is the same anymore,
my destiny is left to you.

My life unfolds,
like a rose in the spring,
I want you to hold me,
and show me the love that you bring.

I see myself as a young woman,
no longer a child,
the chastising face
that once was so wild.

Where did my freedom go?
Away with the wind,
with all that I bestow.

I'm lost in this dance,
forgetting the steps.
I once took caution,
I have to be the best.

I sit and watch my life getting worse,
take me away,
put my life in reverse.
