Relentless Murmurs of Time; Masquerade Sitcom

I always feel outdated,
When I see you and your
New masquerade sitcom;
I was always wondering' what Bethy
Had that made her irresistible
To the entire town,
But then I noticed you were drifting away,
So I yanked back gravity
Trying to turn back the relentless
Murmurs of time;
Time had changed us all and
By the time my mother came by
And wondered what had gone wrong;
My entire childhood
Was spent dreaming of the future
And once it had arrived
It was nothing I had expected;
I watched the people I held
Dear and close,
Float away with a mask in hand,
Because they wanted to be someone new;
I saw my grand folks die
And I watched my father scream;
Even if this is a lie,
I would still trust you with all I have,
Because you're the only one I have left
That only had my best interest in heart;
I only did the best I could with the
Small amount of time
I had left to dance with you;
You did the Charleston
And I thought about how
These times would never
Be the same;
I won't be melodramatic
And say watching people
Turn their back on me
Is the story of my life,
Because it's only happened once,
But Deary Bee,
It was you who said you were
Better off without me
On your tail;
And if you could see me,
You'd probably be surprised;
My, how I have grown,
Since you,
The person who held my secrets
Of how I was going to stay
Young forever,
Turned your back on me
And my forgetful fate
