I’m supposed to follow its pull
North, south, east, west until
A force yanks the needle to be still
And the arrow just points without will
Something inside has gone silent
Temptation it seems is now absent
My emotions flow without current
As the would’ves turned into shouldn’ts
Age is the weapon time wields
Its provocative future holds appeal
Yet none matters so much as when it steals
Sweet innocence worn like a shield
To be lovely should little girls stay
Year to year until their hair turns gray
Changing hearts through each heartache
Teaches hope when to sleep or stay awake
