we aren't getting out of this alive

In this darkness in which I live
there's only faded memories
of the sun 
blue skies turning grey 
images oh so slowly turning to
black

they say the highway to hell is long
but it's not as long as the path i chose
how I got to here is anyones guess
living on a prayer riding in the wind
to young and bold to be looking back

It never occurred to me 
I'd live long enough to be considered old 
but here I am 
with nothing to show for it but the scars
an the knowledge 
we aren't getting out of this alive

Inevitabilities

We ain't gettin' no younger either, old scars don't heal reminding us we lived through it once, or twice. We don't get a second chance to go back and change it. We ate it, got the stomach ache, and tried to find existential tums and rolaids. Like a hangover, life. You don't remember it all but the parts you remember you hold tightly to the chest - This is my closest definition of existence. - Lady A
