Time Is Running Out

 

I used to know you

as a strong young woman

with pride and dignity and style

but he has taken it away from you

still you refuse to make a stand

 

Many times I tried to understand

how did things get out of hand

are you so blind that you can not see

time is running out, my friend

 

You say that you still feel responsible

that you must attend to his needs

but what’s the use of such a sacrifice

if it has brought you to your knees

 

Can you imagine what it means to me

to see you suffer like you do?

I know exactly what is going on

and what the future has in store
