Before It's Too Late

By Bruce Clifford

How much more can you take
How many lines must he break
When you find your peace somehow
Will you pack your things and turn around
You can only take so much
So much pain, so out of touch

How much more can you stand
How many lies and broken plans
Taking it all and leave back none
Will you take off to the road and run
You can only take so much
So much hurt, so much blame

There’s little time to waste
Little fire to burn
Too much pain on your face
Lessons to learn

How much more will you bear
How much pain will you share
So many lines have been crossed
Lost love and mistrust
So much time, so much fear

There’s little time to waste
Little fire to burn
Too much pain on your face
Lessons to learn

There’s little time to waste
Before it’s too late

©10/5/17 Bruce Clifford
