Tough Times

Looking back on time that seems to slip away
Losing track of days when life was fine
Trying hard to smile and grab the giveaway
Thinking now of ways when you were mine
When we were together
It’s the rat race in overdrive where none can win or lose
& the losers can never survive for they have no power to chose
Everyday I struggle with the jungles law
Shutting out emotions that I feel
Come what may I’ve sacrificed the one I love
For success the only thing that’s real
No longer together
No longer together
Now my life is full of fading memories
As the stride gets harder I just try
To keep going now passing in the outer lane
I can never return to days gone by
When we were together
