She looks through the glass of her eye,
She sees the world so different now.
It's changed.
It's different.
It's grayer than she remembers,
Her youth thrown out the window.
All she sees is the blur of faces,
And her life rushing by her faster than she can keep up.
Suddenly she isn't a child anymore,
Her little accomplishment mean nothing.
She has become an adult now,
With more than she can handle.
Suddenly she isn't an adult anymore,
She has grown old and wise.
She knows many things of life,
She needed to have learned in her youth.
She remembers the things she missed out on,
The friends she let go.
The boy she once loved more than life,
She let him leave her as well.
Suddenly her time as come,
As she lays in her bed.
She prays to God that someone remembers her,
As more than just the old woman they once knew.
She hopes that someone will come to visit her,
And tell the their last goodbyes.
As she looks through the glass of her eyes,
She realizes she let everything she love slip through her fingertips.
