Finding, binding, winding your time <br />Sleeping, weaving, asking for more... <br />The closer you get to the time you'll forget <br />You'll be looking back and wishing you wore... <br />A garment from start of a hardened heart <br />To get yourself by with that heart torn apart <br /> <br />You get by, and get by wanting more than you have <br />Wheeling and dealing to settle for half <br />Waiting, you feel, could not be a crime <br />A nickel, a dime, til' you run out of time <br />Pleading, weaving, and asking for more<br /><br />Mason Maestro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-nickel-a-dime/
