Lets keep
             it
        simple.
      Respect my
    time, match my
          efforts,
       keep your
       word and
       always be
           honest,
              stay
          constant.

         The older                     And if you've never        
            I get,                                felt your soul being
              the                                    torn apart, you've never
       more quiet                                  loved anyone with all your heart.      
                I                                   ­   
           become.                      Only the broken                              
              Life                              will offer a piece of their soul to you,                      
           humbles                                           for they know
            me so                           what it feels like being shattered
         deeply as                                              into pieces.
                 I
           age and
           I realize
          how much
           nonsense
              I've
        wasted time
                on.
