Afterall the time I've spent on earth, its gone by in such a flash

I'd like my life to be more than just two numbers and a dash

A childhood non-existant of the sound of my own laugh

Will this too, be included in the two numbers and the dash?

The thoughts of all my long gone friends; within my mind I stash

I'd like my life to be more than just two numbers and a dash

The one who stole an innocent child, and left her like the trash

I wish that this would not be included within the dash

The thoughts of a life drawing to an end; while others shuffle past

I wonder if they realize too, that their life is in the dash?

I'd like to say my life has been a party and a bash

But, what I fear most of all are the two numbers and the dash.
