Chained For Life

Where are you, when

I was a little girl?

Had we met then,

We could have been

Buddies.

Roaming on the beach

Picking seashells

And having fun.

Where are you, when

I was a young girl?

Had we met then,

We could have been friends

Sharing the same interests

And reading together.

Where are you, when

I was a young woman?

Had we met then,

We could have become

Sweethearts, dreaming

And planning our future.

But

You came at the

Fag end of my life!

 Even if you have the

 Heart to extend

 Your hand, I can

Never take it.

I am chained for life!
