Battlefield

Not a moment
To sit down and think
Contemplate the choices
The steps I have taken
No time to reflect
To see if I am happy or sad
How I feel deep down inside

The hours are moving fast and swift
The people leaving me behind
I catch a moment in my hands
Bring myself to think a bit
And I feel a heartache somewhere unseen
A pinch here
A heaviness there
A yearning for the things I left behind
The people I love
And the faces I know.
