A heart ages
Who do I turn to, and what would I say?
This is best kept inside
Might be broke but I got pride
See what can happen when your heart’s in play?
Look for the signs that you’re headed straight
A man looking for curves
Surely gets what he deserves
Remain steady even when it’s going great
Deviations to your plan, make you go into a skid
Upside down hanging by your belt
Thinking about everything you felt
And you wonder why the hell you did what you did
As I said before tell me, just who would you tell?
When your close friends go
Gets kind of hard you know
Living in your mind, in a silent self-made hell
Friends like all of your shit on the social media sites
Some you see- “How’s it going?”
You say “Great, you?” never knowing
Are they just like you, home to more restless nights?
“So quit looking for it, wait for it to find you”
People offering those words
Are generally happy love birds
While you install flashing lights, do anything you can do
You’ve been patient, like letting a steak rest 10 minutes but now
You’re ravenous, ready to pounce
You could eat up a 96 ounce
Steak, potatoes, and all it is definitely time to chow
But love never seems to want to hang
It seems to come and go
One night’s a little hard to know
I was ready for more, but I guess she wasn’t, dang
So like I said way back at the beginning
Before you call me a tramp
I’m busy trying to revamp
And get somewhere better than my life of sinning
I’m looking for the ending but I gotta get a start
Been tricked, teased and slapped
But I just really want to get wrapped
In the love of my life, and have her live in my heart
A heart ages
Words of sages
Timeless advice flows through your ears
A heart ages
Dog-eared pages
An empty room magnifies your fears
A heart ages
But a fire rages
Lessons learned will take you through the years
For this heart ages but it wears it well
Long will we have memories to tell
As the essence of my mother flows through my veins
Quiet mouths and open minds as she explains
I’m overcome with calm, and all seems right
A heart ages, I just pray it’s with you every night
