Pride and Joy

Time of day I can't recall
 The kind of thing that takes a toll
 Over years of overtime
 Over smiles and over wine
 All in all, it wasn't bad
 All in all, it wasn't good
 But I still care
 That's the problem with the days
 They're never long enough to say
 What it is you never said
 All the books you never read
 I throw myself into the wind
 Hoping somebody might pick me up
 And carry me again
 Where are you now?
 Do you let me down?
 Do you make me grieve for you?
 Do I make you proud?
 Do you get me now?
 Am I your pride and joy?
 I believe this to be true
 There's nothing sacred, nothing new
 No one tells you when it's time
 There are no warnings, only signs
 Then you know that you're alone
 You're not a child any more
 But you're still scared
 All your mountains turn to rocks
 All your oceans turn to drops
 They are nothing like you thought
 You can't be something you are not
 Life is not a looking glass
 Don't get tangled in your past
 Like I am learning not to
 Where are you now?
 Do you let me down?
 Do you make me grieve for you?
 Do I make you proud?
 Do you get me now?
 Am I your pride and joy?
