So much time is wasted
The hours whittled away
On fruitless fantasies,
Objects of idolatry.
Longing for adoration,
Yearning for affection.
A promise of devotion,
A commitment of protection.
Without regard, I jumped right in.
I failed to see my own insecurities,
I was trapped by your volatility,
An unwitting victim of my own naivete.
How much time I spent chasing dreams!
How much time have I squandered
On the desires of my flesh.
