“TIME” 18 July 94

She said
I’ll do just about anything
even pawn my engagement ring
Walking down that aisle
because you hit twenty five
and that’s all you expect from life

Given up on hope
sold out all your dreams
become a boring joke -
you know what disappointment means
hoping for second best
because you know that’s all you get
