THERE WAS.....

There was a time when I loved without question. There was a time...when I gave My Heart...like a free gift at a Job Fair.  There was a time..when I took the blame....when Love went wrong.  When I no longer...heard the lyrics of the Love Song.

There was a time...when I was sensitive...and kind.  Looked out for theirs...before I looked out for Mine.

There...was....a...time.  When My eyes...were wide...only...I couldn't see the pain hidden inside.  I was being used...like a Carnival Ride.

But where was the....pink popcorn?

There was a time when I gave all I could.  All I dared.  All I should.

And all that I gave....really wasn't any good.  Cause....they always...wanted....more.

There was a time...now that time is no more.  Everything is bricked up except the Exit Door.
Because I gave My all....and they kept asking for More.

There was a Time.
There was a Time
There was a Time.

There...was.......
