Lost Time

It was a rainy night, as all stories will start
Her face is sad, a tear in her heart
Tears run from her bright blue eyes
As though they decided to copy the skies
She sits on the floor, whispering prayer
Hoping she could be heard by someone not there
She prays for herself, so that she can get strong
For the things that have gone so wrong
She wanted to get married, have a child or two
But it doesn't look like she'll pull through

You see, the news she got wasn't that great
They had found that lump a little too late
Her parents had to explain to this child so young
That she may not be able to make it past twenty-one
This little girl, it took her so long to finally see
That, someday soon, she'd have to leave

She'd be leaving her sister and leaving her dad
She'd be leaving her mom who will be so sad
A little brother, whom she had only just met
And she'd be leaving alone her dearest best-friend
Her boyfriend will suffer through a broken heart
But, she realizes this is only the start

She sits on the cold, hard floor all night
She doesn't get up until the sun gives its light
Her eyes seemed to have run completely dry
There is nothing more there for her to cry
She takes a deep breath and her mouth twists to a smile
She knows she can gain the strength to walk these hard miles
She has her family and friends who love her so much
A bond of the hearts nothing can touch
Even if one day, her body will give up and die
She knows that she will not cry
She is not scared of death, it can not destroy her life
What she is most afraid of is only lost time
